As a leading figure of “The Six Generation” directors, Jia Zhangke’s films focus on reality of contemporary Chinese society, and record the lives of people who were left behind after the country’s urbanization process. He depicts a lot of characters who struggle with their lives, and he works to explore one common question throughout all of his films: “where do I belong?” Jia Zhangke uses unique filmmaking techniques in order to emphasize the feelings of people losing their sense of home. In this thesis, I am going to analyze his cinematic style from three perspectives: photography, musical scores and metaphors. In each chapter, I will use one film as the main subject of discussion and reference other films to complement my analysis. / Graduate

La biografía del arte nos relata la evolución y variantes en las que el arte ha cambiado conforme al paso de los años. Este va desde su concepción contemporánea hasta su influencia en la actualidad, en el cual el arte es visualizado como un elemento comunicador que genera la creación de mundos alternativos, es decir, lejana a nuestra realidad. Asimismo, este cuenta con una gran influencia en las artes visuales, sobre todo en la correlación con el cine. Es aquí donde la historia del arte aporta en la narración y desarrollo de una película, así como puede ser vista como un estilo cinematográfico de esta misma. Se analizarán dos categorías: Biopic del arte y estilo cinematográfico; con la realización de dos matrices, en las cuales se identifiquen los valores de la audiencia, la estética, la correlación del cine y el arte, entre otras. Esto se hará mediante el análisis de contenido de 17 escenas de la película “Midnight in Paris” de Woody Allen con el objetivo de identificar la incorporación de la historia del arte como estilo en la película anteriormente mencionada, a través de referentes pictóricos, personajes ilustres y escenografías o elementos de época. / The biography of art tells us about the evolution and variations in which art has changed over the years. This ranges from its contemporary conception to its influence today, in which art is visualized as a communicating element that generates the creation of alternative worlds, that is, far from our reality. Likewise, it has a great influence on the visual arts, especially in the correlation with the cinema. It is here where the history of art contributes to the narration and development of a film as well as it can be seen as a cinematographic style of the same. Two categories will be analyzed: Biopic of art and cinematographic style; with the realization of two matrices, in which the values ​​of the audience, aesthetics, the correlation of cinema and art, among others, are identified. This will be done by analyzing the content of 17 scenes from Woody Allen's film "Midnight in Paris" with the aim of identifying the incorporation of art history as a style in the afore mentioned film, through pictorial references, illustrious characters and scenery or period elements. / Trabajo de investigación
