Wenceslao Fernández Flórez and the cinema. The defeated’s conscience
Abstract
Wenceslao Fernández Flórez continues to be the most adapted Spanish author in film history. The most representative corpus of Fernández Flórez’s literary work focuses on the 1920s period, during Primo de Rivera dictatorship, although it is during the 1940s when the cinematographic art payed most attention to his novels. Thus, a key question emerges: Why should a work written two decades before find its visual version in the early post-war years? The characters marked by what we have defined as "the defeated’s conscience" are the element functioning as a link between Fernández Flórez’s narrative and the postwar cinema.Downloads
