Abstract

Abstract
Film adaptation from the literary works has nearly existed since the advent of cinema. Hamoun; a movie directed by Dariush Mehrjui, has also been made based on the well-known novel Boof-e Koor (the Blind Owl) written by Sadegh Hedayat relying on adaptation. The main objective of this study is to express the content common point and to compare the element of time in the novel Boof-e Koor (the Blind Owl) with its adapted cinematic work that is the movie Hamoun. The research method employed in this study is analytical-descriptive founded on description of the statement and the research is written based on Gerard Genette Narratology theory. This comparison has been made regarding the theme and overall content of the two works. Moreover, it is specifically based on Genette`s Narratology theory with three core concepts of order, duration and frequency and the initial results indicate that:
1. In transferring Boof-e Koor to Hamoun the director has taken a moderate stance emphasizing the authenticity and independence of both adapted work and the source work.
2. In the theme part the two works correlate strongly with each other since both narrate the life of an isolated person fed up with his surrounding people and environment who takes refuge in the unconscious mind.
3. Both works do not follow a specific chronological order and are narrated in an anachronistic way.
