Abstract
Translating the works of the writer and film director David Mamet is a complex task if style fidelity is one of the main translation priorities. The main difficulty seems to be the tone to be translated into, since it is hard to reproduce the communicative situation of the House of Games given that the oral formal language of the film script has to match visual frames, which have certain parallelisms and misleading situations.
