All the stories of domestic violence are similar: the gaze and art as liberating devices

Abstract

Te doy mis ojos is the third long feature film from Icíar Bollaín (born in Spain, in 1967), and also a film on domestic and marital violence. In this study, the methodology used will not be the most common in film studies, in terms of identifying the director's influences, nor the detailed study of plans and techniques used neither the development of a careful analysis of image and sound. Instead, we propose a theoretical thought on the main objectives, values and ideas of the film, on a sociological dialogue with the gender elements presented. Highlighting those we consider to be the main features of a director's style, we will also study the presence of the same features in a contemporary European cinematography.
