Keywords:
Leisure, Woman, Movie.Abstract
This article aims to discuss and analyze how women are represented in the Brazilian fiction feature “Para minha amada morta”, and to identify possibilities of empowerment for the female characters. This film was launched in 2016. The methodology of this qualitative research included bibliographical research, interviews and analysis of the graphic layout of the fundamental elements of visual communication and design in some scenes of the film. The female characters are portrayed in an antagonistic way, reinforcing a traditional model of conduct established by patriarchy. Although the cinematographic narrative is constituted by several aspects that could favor the emancipation of the women, these possibilities are stopped to the detriment of an exclusively masculine perspective.
