A linguagem cinematográfica e a expressão poética no filme Detachment - O substituto

Abstract

This study presents an analysis of movie Detachment (2012) from the understanding of the effects of the senses promoted by the cinematographic language, which contains elements from the "cinema of poetry", coined by the Italian filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini, and which provides for the use of the "subjective indirect free" camera as its main feature. The subject of teaching is recurrent in cinema, but unlike other films, Detachment breaks with the romanticized perspective of the figure of the teacher. In this way, the dramatic intensity of the narrative is associated with the choices of plans and camera movements, construction of space and, above all, time, specific aspects to the seventh art. In this work, the existential conflicts of a teacher indifferent to social bonds and to the profession make the personal drama responsible for the high emotive density of narrative. Based on the analysis of some cinematographic elements, this study sought to analyze how poetry is present in this work and how it contributed to ramify the construction of the senses and present a new form of interpretation to the viewer.
