A morte e o erotismo em Werner Schroeter: por uma mise-en-scène alegórica.

Abstract

From the analysis of the film The death of Maria Malibran (1971) of the German filmmaker Werner Schroeter, the following research will seek to understand how the cinematographic language can find in the exercise of allegory an element of meaning production and how elements originating in the theater can support this way of making cinema. The mise-en-scène used by Schroeter for the production of allegorical images leads us to a theoretical investigation to go through aesthetic, theatrical and cinematographic theory and, in summary, this will be the theoretical path of this study. These studies will allow us to analyze the film from three operators, namely: the allegorical images in their fragmentation process, the distancing effect and eroticism as an aesthetic relationship.
