The following thesis focuses on the Italian director, Luchino Visconti and his first feature film, Ossessione. It evaluates his film in relation not only to the director's biography but also to its historical and cinematic context. It deals with the manner in which Ossessione was adapted from an American roman noir, refashioning it in its own distinctive way. In addition, it analyses the film's relation to generic modes of representation, specifically realism and melodrama, and concludes by situating the work as a precursor of the Neorealist movement of the mid-20th century.

Para investigar o vínculo entre cinema e História foram consideradas as ideias do historiador francês Marc Ferro, pioneiro no estudo acadêmico da relação cinema-História. Ferro acreditava que todo filme era capaz de expressar características da sociedade que o produziu, servindo assim como objeto útil para os historiadores. O trabalho se apropria de alguns dos princípios defendidos por Ferro e pelos pesquisadores que continuaram este campo de estudos, mas desloca seu interesse para a análise fílmica, focando no modo de construção do universo ficcional de dois filmes de Luchino Visconti: Senso – Sedução da Carne (Senso, 1954) e O Leopardo (Il Gattopardo,1963). A análise buscou identificar o papel ocupado pela História na composição do universo narrativo e plástico das obras, levando em consideração o modo de construção dos personagens, a interpretação dada ao processo de unificação da Itália e a relação dos filmes com outras formas artísticas. / This dissertation aims to demonstrate how historica l events are employed in the fictional work of the Italian director Luchino Visconti, identifying their relationship to the dramatic and aesthetic goals of the movies. To investigate the relationship between cinema and history the ideas of the French historian Marc Ferro, pioneer at the academic study of the cinema-history relationship, were considered. Ferro believed that every film was able to express characteristics of the society that produced it, th us serving as a useful object for historians. This work adapts some of the principles defended by Ferro and researchers who continued this field of study, but shifts its interest to film analysis, focusing on the construction of the fictional universe in two of Luchino Visconti’s films: Senso (Senso, 1954) and The Leopard (Il Gattopardo, 1963). The analysis sought to identify the role played by history in the making of the films’ narrative and plastic universe, takin g into account the method of construction of the characters, the interpretation given to the process of unification of Italy and the relation of movies with other art forms.

Esta dissertação apresenta os resultados de uma análise do filme La terra trema (1947), dirigido pelo italiano Luchino Visconti. Considerando a feição política da obra, procuramos evidenciar o modo como Visconti articula temática e formalmente em seu filme as contradições históricas da Itália do pós-guerra. Para refletirmos a concepção de realismo na cinematografia de Visconti, analisamos alguns artigos que Visconti, Mario Alicata e Giuseppe De Santis publicaram na revista italiana Cinema, no início da década de 1940. Por meio desses artigos, apresentamos o empenho dos autores em retomar a narrativa de Giuseppe Verga para a criação de um novo cinema. Também apresentamos uma leitura do ensaio Alguns temas da questão meridional (1926), de Antonio Gramsci. Com essa leitura, indicaremos linhas de convergências entre pensamento do marxista sardo, e os problemas figurados pelo filme. Através do diálogo com a crítica italiana, e da análise de algumas cenas do filme, refletimos a forma como essa constelação de problemas se configurou no filme La terra trema. / This dissertation presents the results of an analysis of La Terra Trema (1948), directed by Luchino Visconti. Considering the political particularity of the movie, we tried to underline how Visconti articulates in his films thematically and formally the historical contradictions of the post-war Italy. In order to speculate the idea of realism in Viscontis filmography, we analyze articles written by Visconti, Mario Alicata e Giuseppe de Santi published in the Italian magazine Cinema, in the early 1940s. Through these articles, we present the effort of the authors to resume Guiseppe Vergas narrative for the creation of a new cinema. We also present a reading of Antonio Gramscis essay Some Aspects of the Southern Question (1926). With such a reading, we will indicate lines of convergence between Sardian Marxist thought and the problems figured by the film. Through the dialogue with the Italian criticism, and the analyzes of some scenes from the movie, we speculate the form how this constellation of problems have been set in the film La Terra Trema.

Luchino Visconti, né en 1906 et mort en 1976, a été un metteur en scène de cinéma, de théâtre, d’opéra et toute sa carrière a été placée sous le signe de l’amour pour les arts, avec une prédilection particulière pour la littérature de la fin du dix-neuvième siècle et du début du vingtième. L’objectif de notre étude est d’analyser la filmographie de Luchino Visconti, en nous arrêtant plus particulièrement sur quatre films, La terra trema, Rocco e i suoi fratelli, Vaghe stelle dell’Orsa… et L’innocente, où les rapports avec l’œuvre de Giovanni Verga et de Gabriele d’Annunzio sont les plus évidents. Plus spécifiquement le but est de démontrer que, contrairement aux stéréotypes qui marquent le discours critique sur l’œuvre du cinéaste, l’influence d’écrivains tels que Thomas Mann et Marcel Proust, tout en étant indéniable, a été surévaluée au détriment de celle des deux écrivains italiens, dont l’ascendant parcourt toute la filmographie viscontienne / Luchino Visconti (1906-1976), was a movie, theatre and opera director. He dedicated all his career to the love of art, with a particular focus on the literature from the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuryThe goal of our study is to analyse the filmography of Luchino Visconti, more specifically the following four films: La terra trema, Rocco e i suoi fratelli, Vaghe stelle dell’Orsa and L’innocente where the references to the works of Giovanni Verga and Gabriele d’Annunzio are most explicit. More specifically, we want to demonstrate that the undeniable influence of writers such as Thomas Mann and Marcel Proust on Visconti has been overvalued, at the expense of the two Italian authors, Verga and d’Annunzio, who have heavily influenced Visconti’s entire filmography
