Perspectiva narrativa e processos de adaptação no filme O invasor, de Beto Brant

Abstract

This paper aims at investigating the narrative aspects of the movie O invasor, by Beto Brant. Having been developed along with a homonymic book, written by Marçal Aquino, who is also a screenwriter, O invasor suggests a dialogical relationship between the fictional discourse in cinema and literature. From a reflection upon the aspects of the narrative perspective (focalization), of the narrator, of the narrative element character and of the setting, we will enter the adaptative processes that distance and approach the film from the book, always in search of a greater understanding of the esthetic potentialities of each specific medium. The intertextual relationships that can be perceived in the structure of the film O invasor, are also part of our interest, since it embraces the possibility of dialoguing with the social context from its own audiovisual construction. It is only when we realize the deep contamination of languages among distinctive expressive media that we can penetrate into the contemporary narrative fictions.
