Abstract(s)
This text analyses Joao Mario Grilo's film: O Processo do Rei (The King's Trial) (1989). Based on the trial of Afonso VI, the director was able to remain faithful to the seventeenth century historical setting, but at the same time give it a contemporary feel, while exploring eternal and recurrent aspects of the story itself. Cinema, in this film, works as a stage where the story reveals the scenography that history books habitually conceal. In order to thoroughly examine the issues raised by this text, the article discusses the relationship between cinema and theatre starting with the concept of mise en scene. What joins and separates these two artistic forms? How has cinema built its own mise en scene throughout its history while resorting mostly to editing?
