Abstract(s)
Sendo João Botelho um cineasta cuja constelação fílmica celebra um reencontro interpretativo com autores fundamentais da literatura portuguesa, não surpreende que a sua mais recente incursão cinéfila seja justamente pelo universo queirosiano com a adaptação para cinema do romance Os Maias. Neste sentido, o presente texto centra-se na análise da transmutação cinematográfica proposta por João Botelho (OS MAIAS, 2014) destacando a “atualidade” de um romance canônico, as suas características cinematografáveis e o caráter artificioso e operático-teatral desta adaptação literária. O texto evidencia o encontro com a obra, a sua releitura e apropriação num gesto de respeito pelo escritor e pelo romance e, simultaneamente, um propósito de emancipação artístico-autoral onde o artifício é realçado.
João Botelho is a Portuguese filmmaker whose filmography includes prominent filmic productions which celebrate an interpretive reunion with key authors of the Portuguese literature. Thus, it is not surprising that his latest cinematic creation is precisely a literary adaptation of the novel Os Maias by Eça de Queiroz. In this sense, this essay focuses on the analysis of the cinematic transmutation proposed by João Botelho (OS MAIAS, 2014) highlighting the canonical novel's contemporaneousness, its cinematographic qualities and the artificial and operatic-theatrical character of this literary adaptation. The paper also emphasizes the encounter with the novel; its reinterpretation and appropriation in a gesture of respect for its author and for the novel and simultaneously underlines a purpose of artistic and authorial emancipation where the artificiality plays an important role.
