World in Theatre According to Bernardo Bertolucci
Abstract
Michalski focuses on the problems of reception of artistic cinema, and uses the example of Spider’s Stratagy to show how reception consisting in the identifying of style does not lead to the identifying of plot. Therefore, there is a tendency to re-define it, Michalski claims, because in this way it is possible to point to a continuity of story-telling in films where new reception rules have been set. In Spider’s Stratagy, the director introduces contradictory instructions that hinder accurate definition of a narrative situation. The point of view in the spectacle offers three presentation options: an objective presentation of events, a subjective presentation of events from the characters’ point of view and an „external” narrative commentary. Thereby, Spider’s Stratagy suggests that it is impossible to identify human actions. The mystery included in the structure of the work is connected with the „basic” theme of the film.
