Abstract
This article analyzes the relationship between literature and film between 2000 and 2005, a period characterized by the immediate adaptations of best-seller novels about the different forms of violence in Colombia (Satanás, Rosario Tijeras, and Perder es cuestión de método) into films. It claims that the adaptation of Fernando Vallejo's La Virgen de los sicarios set a model that seemed to be successful for the exoticization of violence, the use of highly commodified novels, or the gaze of directors who return to Colombia after having lived or studied abroad. The article explores the resonance of those novels and film adaptations in their specific moment as a preamble to discuss the validity of this paradigm in the current process of industrialization of Colombian cinema.
