Abstract

Stanisław Lem chronically detested films based on his texts, and treated every adaptation ever made as sacrilege. Despite the great interest in his work by the movie industry, Lem was never enthusiastic about cinema adaptations. “Terrible” is one of the milder words Lem used with regard to “his” movies. Was it the writer's character that did not permit any changes in the texts he had written, or was Lem unaware of film language rules and did not want to come to terms with the framework of the audiovisual translation process, including the sometimes necessary interference with the content?
