Abstract:
This analysis deals with the fundamental transformation in the nature of the cinematic recipient, who has become more knowledgeable but lacks deep analytical tools. In parallel, the film remains as a complex cultural product that produces disparate critical discourses. Here we demand that film criticism renew its tools and concepts to cope with this complexity, and emphasize that this process is hostage to the ability of films themselves to develop and experiment. þþ To conclude by detailing the intrinsic elements that contemporary criticism must delve into, going beyond description to a comprehensive societal, psychological and artistic analysis.þ
