Childhood, memory and cinephilia in the work of Víctor Erice: the case of «Cerrar los ojos»
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This exploratory and descriptive study analyses Víctor Erice’s film Cerrar los ojos with regard to three key concepts of the author’s work: childhood, memory and cinephilia. The method chosen is audiovisual text analysis framed within qualitative research, and interpretative content analysis. The results confirm Cerrar los ojos as an autofiction that creates a dialogue between the life and work of its author through lost identity, nostalgia for childhood and cinema as redemption.
