Il cinema tra narrazione e redenzione JF - Altre Modernità JA - AMonline VL - IS - 0 SE - Saggi Ensayos Essais Essays DO - 10.13130/2035-7680/1170 UR - https://riviste.unimi.it/index.php/AMonline/article/view/1170 SP - 97-104 AB - In the Jewish tradition, the Bible is the origin of any possible interpretative and narrative development. <br />Thus, starting from this statement and in the belief that film is, in its essence, narration and not <br />representation, the author makes some remarks on the close and intimate relationship among Judaism, Jews <br />and film, but also on the difficulty that movies have always experienced in the direct confrontation with <br />the Bible while pretending to &ldquo;represent it&rdquo;. Moreover, if the cinema is mainly narrative and creative <br />development of reality, we have to speak, with Walter Benjamin and Sigfried Kracauer, as for the Seventh art, <br />about a sort of redemption of reality, in assonance, here again, with some profound and important trends of <br />Judaism, and especially of the modern Jewish thought.
