Imagen fílmica y narración. Análisis cinematográfico de Sensatez y sentimientos (Ang Lee, 1995)

Abstract

The film Sense and Sensibility of Ang Lee (USA, 1995) narrates one of the literary works of the British writer Jane Austen (1775-1817), who is not only most famous for writing under the domain of drama and romance genres (Bergan, 2011), but specifically has written about women in 19th-century England facing problems related to their social position and relations. We wonder the following: “how the sensibility and senses in the Victorian Era is materialized in the narrative of Ang Lee (1995)?” Therefore, this film study will investigate how the roles of cinematographic language (Martin, 2002) and elements of narrative analysis (Casetti y Di Chio, 2003); (Stam, 2014) are used in scenes and/or sequences (Aumont y Marie, 2009). Our purpose is to further understanding how feelings like sense and sensibility (Sellés, 2010) are materialized through three aspects in the film: the characters and the narrative language of the cinema (Aumont y Marie, 2009).
