Abstract

This study analyzes the adaptation of Octave Mirbeau’s novel, Le journal d’une femme de chambre, at the hands of Jean Renoir and Luis Buñuel. Different semiotic roots can be found, embedded in the main axes of each artists’ work. Besides the different languages involving film and literature, one can see that the creative genius of the three authors contributes a particular imprint that involves changes in the narration: the atmosphere created around the speech, the tone used, the characters’ definition and three different endings are determined by three artistic forces which produced three distinct and original cultural productions.
