Resumen de El verdugo: entre risa, esperpento e interpelación, o cómo hacerse sujeto de la dictadura franquista
- español
Este artículo trata la dialéctica entre comedia, tragedia e identificación (imposible) que se despliega en la obra magistral de Berlanga El verdugo. En él argumento que, al navegar entre el esperpento y otras formas de humor pertenecientes a categorías descritas por Henri Bergson, Berlanga consigue crear una película fundamentalmente ambivalente que critica con sutileza el régimen franquista en su mismísima esencia.
