Following reflections by Joseph Roth, Walter Benjamin, Sigfried Kracauer and Claudio Guillén, the concept of “white city” is linked to border and centrality to conclude that the “white city” is defocalized and peripheral, invaded and rebellious, model (dream or project) and hell (nightmare or chaos). The concept is applied to examine four “white” cities thanks to significant sequences in four films: Los olvidados (1950) by Luis Buñuel, Pizza, birra, faso (1998) by Bruno Stagnaro and Israel Adrián Caetano, Dans la ville blanche (1983) by Alain Tanner and Biutiful (2010) by Alejandro González Iñárritu.

Abstract

Following reflections by Joseph Roth, Walter Benjamin, Sigfried Kracauer and Claudio Guillén, the concept of “white city” is linked to border and centrality to conclude that the “white city” is defocalized and peripheral, invaded and rebellious, model (dream or project) and hell (nightmare or chaos). The concept is applied to examine four “white” cities thanks to significant sequences in four films: Los olvidados (1950) by Luis Buñuel, Pizza, birra, faso (1998) by Bruno Stagnaro and Israel Adrián Caetano, Dans la ville blanche (1983) by Alain Tanner and Biutiful (2010) by Alejandro González Iñárritu.
