Rappresentazione dello spazio urbano e dei corpi nel nuovo cinema del reale italiano: Sacro GRA

Abstract

Starting from the dichotomy set / city and city / set and the way in which bodies relate to it and offer themselves to the gaze of the camera (or the latter avoids them because if looked at it cracks the illusion of a show itself), and dwelling specifically on "Sacro GRA" (2013), the essay aims to demonstrate how the so-called "cinema of the real" does not take the form of a slavish return to twentieth-century realisms but as a research on forms of representation (of urban reality and the bodies that are inscribed in it) also through the use of unusual perspectives and points of view and different narrative and expressive styles that make the relationship between fiction and authenticity hybrid.
