  Abstract:  Mal d’ombre: a Surrealist Interpretation of the Gothic Film Malombra. The paper analyses a 1947 text written by the Romanian Surrealist Group (Gherasim Luca, Gellu Naum, Paul Păun, Virgil Teodorescu, Trost) in French, Eloge de Malombra – Cerne de l’amour absolu (Malombra, aura of absolute love), inspired by the film Malombra made in 1942 by Mario Soldati. Although the film itself was not a programatically Surrealist work, some connexions to the Surrealist mythology can be traced from it. The article explores the elements of plot and the reasons why the movie was important for the Romanian authors within the context of André Breton’s views on the gothic novel.

Key words: castle, fantastic, Antonio Fogazzaro, gothic, involuntariness, Malombra, Mario Soldati, surrealism
