Análisis de tres filmes ecuatorianos del director Sebastián Cordero : ratas, ratones y rateros; pescador y sin muertos no hay carnaval desde la mirada del realismo sucio.

Abstract

Throughout the history of cinema, various movements have emerged that address the creation of films and the staging of stories or audiovisual constructions from different perspectives and practices. Some of these movements have arisen as a result of the influence of other artistic expressions such as literature or painting. An example of this is the case of D.W. Griffith, who borrowed melodrama from literature and incorporated it into his film production, giving birth to the Classic Cinema. The present work offers a look at dirty realism, as a literary current and its influence on the cinematographic production of the Ecuadorian director, Sebastián Cordero, specifically in three of his productions: Rats, Mice and Thieves, Fisherman and No Dead No Carnival. To carry out this research work, we first identified the features of dirty realism in literature and then transferred them to the audiovisual language by constructing a matrix based on the method of interpretive analysis proposed by the Mexican writer and researcher, Lauro Zavala Each of Cordero's chosen films was analyzed by applying the matrix to determine the presence of dirty realism features in his cinematography.
