Main Article Content
Abstract
The following text approaches the links between cinema and politics, considering the effects the second issue can produce upon the fi rst. It develops an outlook on a certain type of Chilean contemporary fi lms and the formal characteristics which gathers them, arguing that these singularities must be seen as a cinematographic response to the sociopolitical conditions the directors have experienced. The author displays the notion of “cinematographic melancholy”, and the origins of this melancholy in the present day Chile. Through its formal decisions the cinema can get closer to what isunpresentableand by means of its resources, pierce the shell of superfi ciality.
