This article addresses the representation of urban space in film, through the analysis of the film adaptation of Ruth Rendell’sLive Fleshby the Spanish film director Pedro Almodóvar. This film is a cross-cultural re-elaboration based on the initial set-up of the original plot, using Madrid as a setting, with significant presence of the city, approached in historical context. The representation of the metropolis links together aspects of form and content, rendering a mobile perspective of architectural and sociological features that illustrate current theorization on urban space and film. The interior scenes also reveal a fusion of discourse space and story space in the creation of haptic experience for phenomenological reception by spectators. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
