Women on the verge. The carnivalization, the grotesque and the construction of the female characters in Almodóvar’s movies.
Abstract
This study focuses on the work of Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar in the context of Mikhail Bakhtin’s dialogical analysis. The objective is to discuss the presence of this analysis in the construction of Almodovarian characters who transgressively break with manichaeism, characteristic of Hollywood style, thus creating a more complex character.
