Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the intertextual relationships and the hybrid experiences between means of communication and esthetics present in a number of contemporary films from distinct cinematographic backgrounds whose focus privileges the teen universe. From a broader framwork of six filmes, the analysis was mainly focused on the spanish movie Verbo (2011, Eduardo Chapero-Jackson) and the polish The Suicide Room (2011, Jan Komasa). From the narrative construction and visual composition of these films, the author attempted to draw a representation on how the characters’ rites of passage are developed within the narrative of the different film mechanisms in its hybrid conception and pervaded by intertextuality.
