Masculin/féminin dans le film Parfum de femme et dans son remake Le Temps d’un week-end

Abstract

"This paper analyses the relation between genders in the movies Scent of Women (the original and its remake). Our approach can be considered as an exercise in Jungian-Bachelardian interpretation through the grid of a poetics of androgyny, which attests that a man and a woman speak in the solitude of our being, according to the expression of Gaston Bachelard. Beyond the different constructions of the two cinematographic productions, critics generally consider that the two films have as common themes: the crisis of modernity revealed by the tragic and blind loneliness of modern man, the initiation of a young man to the misfortunes of life and to the love of women."
