| description | In tandem with the current development of flm scholarships in the area of the world
and national cinemas, the paper seeks to examine four scenes from the South Indian
Tamil popular flm “Kannathil Muthamittal” (English: A Peck on the Cheek) using
a concept derived from Hamid Nafcy’s theorisation of an accented cinema known
as the flmmakers’ “preoccupation with the place.” The conception is cinematically
expressed through spatial representations of the open, closed and the third spacetime formations. In the accented cinema, space-time formations are cinematic
spatial aspects that are employed to produce or reproduce the fundamental
“accent” of displacement and deterritorialisation. According to Nafcy, the accent
predominantly originates from the flmmakers’ experiences and their artisanal
productions and not so much from their accented lingo. |
