Noches blancas: un discurso poético

Abstract

This article analyzes the relationship between poetry and cinema, inestigating in the largest tradition of relations between word and image and especially in the concept of adaptation. Actually, the transposition of the novel to the screen delivered to the cinema a narrative aspect since always. Nevertheless, in this article we want to demonstrate the presence of a cinema that highlights for not to be connected directly to the narrativity, but to a differet artistic level less conventional. We have recognized the presence of a cinema that we call poetic, not necessarly linked to the vanguards, but that has to be researched also in the Works of some modern cinema’s directors. We put he attention on the Italian director Luchino Visconti, and especially on the film White nights, that manifest in its structure and in its shape a different language and, for that reason, we consider it as poetic. In this work we are going to highlight the concept of poetic analyzing this film.
