Academic paper: "The Bengali Night (1988) — Reception, Translation, and the Romanian Subtitle Circulation"

Abstract This paper examines the 1988 film The Bengali Night (original French title: La Nuit Bengali), its cross-cultural reception, and the circulation and characteristics of Romanian subtitling for the film. Focusing on translation choices, subtitle norms in late-1980s Romania, and the film’s positioning within Western adaptations of South Asian literature, the study combines film analysis, comparative translation examples, and historical context to argue that Romanian subtitling both mediates and reshapes the film’s cultural meanings for local audiences.
