Text

The diploma thesis discusses chosen film and comic adaptations that are inspired by the literary theme of Madame Bovary. It addresses the question why and how these two types of media are especially fit to be the subject of cross media transfers. The first part of the thesis explains intermediality and shows how comics and films are similar in the way they tell stories. The most apparent similarity in this example is the narrativity in form of sequences of pictures, acting as comic panels and film perspective. This insight can immediately be tested by carrying out analysis of both the comic and the two films. It is the objective to analyze this form of adaptation in both ways, from comic to film as well as film to comic. The film adaptation of the comic Gemma Bovery is the first example that shows, by interpreting multiple scenes, that it is possible for a film adaptation to be strongly inspired by the original, to the point of recreating scenes and still be able to produce a distinctive work with its own meaning. Finally, by taking the movie La souriante madame Beudet to produce our own comic adaptation, the earlier analysis is used to complete the adaptation in in both ways. (Abstract by author)
