Río de Janeiro en las cintas de Carlos Hugo Christensen. Novedades técnicas, industrias culturales y Estado en las imágenes político-culturales de la urbe by Cecilia Nuria Gil Mariño

“…This paper explores Carlos Hugo Christensen’s filmography in Brazil with the aim to focus on the role played by the urban space in his production strategies and in the development of film genres in the national context. If in the first years of its production in the country, Rio de Janeiro was the great protagonist in positive terms, with the development of romantic comedies or films bordering the institutional-propaganda with State funding, towards the seventies his disappointment with the socio-urban transformations will lead him to the production of police dramas and films with a high content of explicit violence.Thus, this study analyzes the characteristics of the media city in the films of Christensen in dialogue with the urban, social and political transformations of Rio de Janeiro, with the State cultural projects and with the discourses of the critics that encouraged a quality national cinema able to represent the country beyond the political-aesthetic discussions that characterized the film movements of the 1960s and 1970s.…”
