Reflection on Visconti film from the study of his audiovisual narrative

Abstract

This article aims to reflect on the visual narrative of Luchino Visconti di Modrone (Milan, 1906 - Rome, 1976). Aristocrat, theatre director and then, film director, shot just over twenty films until his death. Among his work are the titles: Obsesión, La tierra tiembla, Senso, Rocco y sus hermanos, Boccaccio 70, El gatopardo, Las brujas, El extranjero, La caída de los dioses, Muerte en Venecia, Luis II de Baviera, Confidencias o El inocente. His aesthetic, dream and of course, theatrical taste, has made his films become, individually, real examples of what is learned in the field of audiovisual narrative. This article tries to unravel its characteristics from the perspective of a young student who begins to form as a filmmaker.
