The surrealistic painting in Almodóvar's cinema
Abstract
Almodóvar is one of the most personal filmmakers of last last decades. It is enough to see a single shot of one of his movies to guess its authorship. In the configuration of such a particular universe the influences of other artistic disciplines play an important role, as in the case of painting. In some occasions Almodóvar composes scenes directly inspired by pictorial works, as much from traditional art as, and particularly, from the contemporary art. The purpose of this article is to explore the references to surrealistic painting in his films; to this end formalist criteria will be applied.
