Abstract
Este artigo procura analisar o filme Tony Manero, de Pablo Larrain, a partir do fenômeno da moda, deslocando assim a questão da identidade chilena e da indústria cultural estadunidense, que frequentemente são considerados elementos centrais na interpretação da obra, e colocando o foco na forma inquietante a partir da qual Raul, o protagonista do filme, participa de maneira isolada e patológica da febre disco. A partir da análise fílmica, procuraremos mostrar que o que há de inquietante e crítico em Tony Manero não é a imitação de um suposto modelo estadunidense no contexto da ditadura chilena, mas a aceitação de Raul como modelo entre seus próprios colegas. Para isso, além da análise fílmica, nossa metodologia proporá considerações sobre a moda e o fenômeno disco, bem como uma análise sobre o filme referência Embalos de Sábado a Noite.
Highlights
This article intends to analyze the Chilean film Tony Manero, directed by Pablo Larrain, through the fashion phenomenon, displacing the question of Chilean identity and American Cultural Industry – which are often considered central ele-ments in the interpretation of the film – and placing the focus on the disturbing way which Raul, the protagonist of the film, participates in the disco fever
We will try to show that what is disturbing and critical in Tony Manero is not the imitation of a supposed American model in the context of Chilean dictatorship, but the fact that Raul itself is considered a model among his colleagues
In addition to film analysis, we propose a methodological approach about fashion and the disco phenomenon, as well as a brief consideration about the film Saturday Night Feeling
