%X Film adaptations of literary works have been linked to the problem of fidelity, valuing an 
adaptation by the degree of fidelity to the original work and not by what they contribute 
as independent works of art. New adaptation studies theories are emerging that place the 
adaptation over the literary work, moving away from the problem of fidelity. Specifically, 
the approach that concerns us in this work is that of the influence of historical and cultural 
contexts on adaptations. To this end, three film adaptations of Charles Bukowski's works 
have been chosen: L'amour est un chien de l'enfer (1987), Lune Froide (1991) and 
Factotum (2005). In order to carry out the analysis, the place of origin of the directors, 
the historical moment in which they were made, and the specific context of reception of 
each of the productions will be taken into account. Through this analysis, the importance 
of adaptations as cultural texts, adapting the original work but also to their own context, 
can be verified.
