Abstract
An overall reading of the film portrait of the media in the 90s, from a review of the most repeated elements in the representation, leads to conclude that the cinema of the decade highlights the power and presence of the media in all areas of daily life and its depersonalization, reflected in the swarm of reporters and the way they harass the main protagonists of the information. The corpus of the analysis is composed by 112 films released between 1990 and 1999 and is part of a larger project in which was born the PhD dissertation “The image of the professional journalist fiction films from 1990 to 1999.”Downloads
