Abstract
This article analyzes the adaptation of the story “Family life” by Alejandro Zambra, taken to the cinema by Jiménez and Scherson in 2016. Rather than exhaustively analyzing all those elements that are transferred from the text to the image, I am interested in observing certain transformations that occur at the narrative level, such as the disappearance of the narrator. I will also analyze some of the main additions of the film version that are the spatial dimension and corporeality, and some intermedial practices, both in the story and in the film.
