ANGELICA: WOMAN, MYSTERY AND DEATH, REINCARNATED FIFTY-SIX YEARS LATER

Abstract

In this article, I establish a comparative analysis between the script of Angélica, written by Portuguese director Manoel de Oliveira, and the film he made based upon it, 56 years later. To do so, I examine the technical-compositive and semantic-pragmatic codes of both the literary and the cinematic text, establishing meaningful relationships, differences and similarities between them, in the context of intersemiotic transposition. In this sense, I resort to other films, interviews granted by Manoel de Oliveira, and to the opinion of several specialists.
