Resumen
Towards the close of the 1990s, a time in which post-modern cinema regarded reality as suspect, a certain tendency towards realism arose in Spanish cinema. The works of Fernando León de Aranoa, Icíar Bollaín, Archero Mañas and Benito Zambrano lead the way to a timid form of realism based on the creation of a social context and the accentuation of certain effects of reality. This path to realism is situated in a moment in history that contemplates a kind of return to politics, understood as a form of participation of the subject in the public sphere. To what degree does Spanish cinema participate in this path towards politics? This article aims to answer that question through an analysis of a number of examples of recent fictional cinema such as León de Aranoa’s Los lunes al sol and Alejando Amenábar’s abstract Mar adentro, along with some examples of documentary cinema.
