The main purpose of this article is to analyse the film adaptations of Mangeclous and Belle du Seigneur. These novels, which have been adapted by Moshé Mizrahi (1931-) and Glenio Bonder (1956-2011), are part of a main saga called Solal and written by Albert Cohen (1895-1981). First, we will insist on the importance of cinema for the beginning of Albert Cohen’s work as a writer. Then, by comparing the films and the novels, we will observe the differences that had been necessary for such adaptations. Moreover, with this comparison, we will discover if the adaptations have succeeded in transmitting the universe that lies behind the novels.
