Previous interpretations of these film adaptations have tended to regard the...

Previous interpretations of these film adaptations have tended to regard the literary originals as incidental to Buñuel's auteurist vision. A formal analysis of Nazarín and Tristana reveals, however, a remarkable similarity between Buñuel and Galdós in terms of narrative enunciation. This study contends that the striking plurality of critical responses to Buñuel's work is encoded in the equivocal nature of his filmic narration. It argues furthermore that the formal ambiguity of Buñuel's films derives from the novels of Galdós and that the adaptations of Nazarín and Tristana foreground this debt. With reference to Bruce Kawin's model of cinematic subjectivity elaborated in his Mindscreen (1978), the article demonstrates that the ironic, unreliable narrators of Galdós's novels are creatively imitated by Buñuel in the filmic medium. Ambiguous narration thus reveals Galdós's and Buñuel's shared challenges to realism. Este ensayo combina una consideracin terica del narrador de películas de ficcin con un anlisis especfico de las adaptaciones cinematogrficas de Luis Buuel basadas en las novelas de Benito Prez Galds, Nazarn (1958/1895) y Tristana (1970/1892). Las interpretaciones previas de estas adaptaciones cinematogrficas han tendido a considerar que los originales literarios quedan al margen de la visin auteur de Buuel. No obstante, un estudio formal de Nazarn y Tristana revela un parecido singular entre Buuel y Galds en trminos de la enunciacin narrativa. Este estudio afirma que la naturaleza ambigua del cine de Buuel da lugar a la notable pluralidad de la crítica buueliana. Sostiene adems que la ambigedad formal de las pelculas de Buuel proviene de las novelas de Galds y que las adaptaciones de Nazarn y Tristana subrayan esta influencia. Partiendo del modelo de subjectividad cinematogrfica desarrollado por Bruce Kawin en Mindscreen (1978), el ensayo demuestra que Buuel reproduce de manera creativa los narradores irnicos y poco fiables de las novelas de Galds en el medio filmico. As, la narracin ambigua revela el cuestionamiento del realismo tanto de Galds como de Buuel. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Hispanic Research Journal is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
