Abstract
La investigación que pretendemos llevar a cabo con esta tesis doctoral se centra en el estudio de la imagen fílmica de Madrid en el cine español. El constructo ciudad, dependiente del valor narrativo del espacio, plantea una serie de incógnitas que necesitan de un análisis en profundidad y que en el caso de nuestro estudio se articulan en torno a cuatro directores muy concretos que han convertido Madrid en centro de sus argumentos y obsesiones: Edgar Neville, Pedro Lazaga, Eloy de la Iglesia y Pedro Almodóvar. Los cineastas, pertenecientes a distintas generaciones y con disímiles puntos de vista, manifiestan en trabajos muy concretos la evolución y transformación del espacio urbano madrileño. La ciudad se erige por el momento en escenario natural de una gran parte de sus propuestas y, al mismo tiempo, como podemos evidenciar en nuestra investigación, se convierte en uno de los elementos narrativos más reveladores de sus relatos fílmicos. Madrid es recurrente en nuestro cine desde que las cintas silentes de Promio, uno de los emisarios de los hermanos Lumière, recogieran con precisión documental los lugares cotidianos más icónicos de la ciudad. A partir de ese momento, y a través de un juego de espejos urbano digno del mejor pintor cubista, la ciudad de Madrid ha sido representada, con más o menos fortuna, por un sinfín de directores que han intentado esclarecer en sus películas la esencia de una ciudad histórica...
The subject of the research presented in this doctoral dissertation centers on the filmic representation of Madrid in Spanish cinema. The conceptualization of a city, dependent on the narrative potential of its constituent spaces, poses a series of questions that require in-depth analysis and which in the case of our study take into account four specific directors who have made Madrid the focal point of their story lines and their most vital interests: Edgar Neville, Pedro Lazaga, Eloy de la Iglesia and Pedro Almodóvar. These filmmakers, belonging to different generations and with their differing points of view, bring to light in very concrete works the evolution and transformation of the Madrileñan urban space. The city appears at once as the natural setting of many of their projects, and at the same time, as evidenced in our investigation, it becomes one of the most revealing narrative elements of their filmic accounts. Madrid has appeared continuously in our cinema since the silent films of Promio, one of the emissaries of the Lumière brothers, captured with documentary precision the most iconic everyday places of our city. From that moment on, as if through an urban game of mirrors worthy of a master cubist painter, the city of Madrid has been represented, with varying degrees of success, by a multitude of directors who have attempted to elucidate in their films the essence of a historic city...
