Abstract

This article is a reflection on the relationship between cinematographic discourse and reality: discussing cinema’s technical restrictions and creative possibilities to represent an impression of reality. This article emerges from the assumption that cinema’s technical qualities can only represent a technical appearance of reality which must satisfy certain cultural expectations.
