FRAMING THE MIRROR: INTERMIDIALITY IN THE GODFATHER II AND III (1974 AND 1990), BY FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA
ABSTRACT
From an intermedial perspective, this study is based on the hypothesis that some cinematographic frames are intermedial mirrors to some paintings, due to the visual resemblance between these. We mean specifically The Godfather II and III (1974 and 1990) by Francis Ford Coppola and the paintings Last supper (1594), by Tintoretto, Medusa (1595) by Caravaggio and the death of Marat, by Jacques Louis David. This paper aims to analyze the narrative context of the scenes to which the frames belong, which visual elements resemble certain paintings, as well as the story behind each painting and finally inquire if the purpose of the cinematographic narrative is related to that of the paintings. For this enterprise, we rely on the following theories: O poder da arte (2010), by Simon Schama, where the author analyzed the life and work of renowned artists like Caravaggio and David, O olho interminável: pintura e cinema (2004), by Jacques Aumont and O termo intermidialidade como ebulição by Irina Rajewski.
