- Title
LA BELLE ÉPOQUE IN ROMANIAN FILM ADAPTATIONS OF THE NATIONAL-COMMUNIST PERIOD (1971-1989).
- Authors
GRANGE, Mihaela
- Abstract
The article is a meditation on the Belle Époque adaptations in Romanian cinema, an attempt to shed light on the ways the filmmakers during state socialist regime chose and dealt with literary classics that could be used in order to produce nationalist propaganda. The focus is on the historical background, the rhetoric of protochronism, or the production histories of the film, mentioning the types/social class of characters the films, the different narrative patterns deployed by them. Despite censorship and selfcensorship specific for the national-communist period, the films that present La Belle Époque have nonetheless been highly awarded at international film festivals. The paper attempts to clarify this paradox.
