Resumen de El amor en la encrucijada: comedia romántica, identidad y autor en Manhattan Murder Mystery
This essay is an attempt to explore the interconnections and tensions provided by the combination of the film codes of genre and authorship, both concerned with the articulation of identity. Romantic comedy is a particular complex site of historically variable notions of love and relationships, which are enriched by the presence of an auteur figure that is far from controlling the meaning of the text. The essay defends the need for genre-auteur analyses that reflect the new role played by film directors in contemporary Hollywood cinema.
