Abstract

A comparative analysis between the graphic novel set in the antechamber of the war in Iraq Quai d'Orsay: diplomatic chronicles (Volume 1 and volume 2) by Lanzac and Blain and his feature film, directed by Tavernier is offered. First, the importance of the literary genre of comics in France, unlike Spain, is shown. Next, the comic is presented in a detailed way, then the film, analyzing the various aspects which are modified or suppressed when taking the novel to the big screen. It highlights both the modification of characters and the elimination of events. Finally, the international political crises that take place in the comic are revealed, all of them true but somewhat modified and hidden under a pseudonym.
