Is There an Active Audience? : representation and Identifi cation of The People/Mass in El Chacal de Nahueltoro
Main Article Content
Abstract
El Chacal de Nahueltoro is not only one of the most important fi lms in the Chilean Cinema as a whole, but it is particularly a key work in the so called New Chilean Cinema. The present article attempts to explore the contradictions and tensions between people’s representation and the audience appeal portrayed at the same time in the people’s image displayed in the fi lm. The analysis of the concept of “the “people” and the role of the spectator become more complex in a context where cinema is conceived as an element of social change, foregrounding the audience’s active participation and its close relation to the fi lm itself
