Beyond the Screen, Beyond the Story: The Rhetorical Battery of Post-Classical films

Abstract

This paper attempts to make a classification of some of the narrative and stylistic resources of the post-classical cinema in the age of the global screen through a minimal description of a battery of rhetorical resources present in some of the most relevant post classical films from the 90s. Specially, we focus on two main axis: the multi-screen cohabitation in the mise-en-scène and the increasing radicalization of complex narration.
