Twilight of Heroes in Beltenebros: Antonio Muñoz Molina' s Novel and the Film by Pilar Miró
Keywords:
contemporay Spanish narrative, adaptation, intertextuality and mass cultureAbstract
In this article I review the hero´s characterization in Beltenebros, by Antonio Muñoz Molina (1989), and its filmic adaptation by Pilar Miró (1991). I review the historical contexts and the literary influence in that figure. We find important differences in the kind of hero, the presentation as a ”fluid” consciousness in the novel, and the contrast with the acting and gestures in the adaptation, where we find two dancing scenes relevants by its symbolic content and the inclusion of mass culture.
