The destiny and literary creation of Ion Creangă crystallized into an unprecedented phenomenon in our culture, always inciting artists and literati to the most diverse interpretations and visions. But a re-interpretation of the “spectacle of the world”, created by the great storyteller from Humulești, requires great aesthetic and artistic efforts. To argue these ideas, we will refer to the non-fiction film “Ion Creangă” directed by Vlad Druc, based on a script signed by Anatol Codru, cameraman - Ion Bolboceanu. In search of the most appropriate audiovisual equivalents for the rendering/interpretation through another language, the cinematographic one, of the artistic phenomenon Ion Creangă, the film director Vlad Druc turned to some iconographic materials (photographs, manuscripts), places filmed “live”, but also to some works from the paintings of the Yugoslav naivists, which restore the values of authentic life, but also of the imaginary. In the director V. Druc’s conception, this art has some qualities in common with the world perceived by the great storyteller finding suggestive ambiences in the context of his cinematic approach. Finally, the director Vlad Druc managed to consolidate these heterogeneous materials into a unique whole through audiovisual language, launching a cinematic product that resists the erosion of time.
