La influencia del movimiento cinematográfico Neorrealismo italiano en el estudio de la ciudad como elemento comunicacional.

Abstract

This essay analyzes different concepts to understand the film space of Italian neorealist films such as Rome, open city and Ladri di biciclette, as well as the Ecuadorian film Fuera de Partida. The levels of analysis are developed from the technical and narrative characteristics of the films belonging to Neorealism, since this is the movement where the city is of great importance. The critical analysis was carried out through the theory of "any spaces" proposed by Gilles Deleuze, "the blurred image of the city" by Pierre Sorlin and the journeys made by the characters from the center to the periphery. Also, the study of the filmed space as a brand of the city, the film as a historical archive and social representations were integrated. For the technical analysis, purely aesthetic categories characteristic of Neorealism and resulting from the budgetary problems of the postwar period were added. In this way, it was put into practice for the three samples, through the use of scenes, frames or entire fragments of the tapes. Through the different levels of analysis, it was demonstrated that the cinematographic city, with its meanings, conflicts and relationships, is a communicational element, likewise, that the analysis can be applied to other samples with the same purpose.
