CRIMINAL IMPUNITIES, OF SOL DE CARVALHO: CULTURAL AND AESTHETIC ISSUES
Abstract
Age-old inequalities between men and women did not arise as a resultof the choice of the latter but were imposed by a coercive historical process that institutionalized them as laws and norms and instilled them through mythology, religion, philosophy, ideology, of science and theory of law. The film Criminal Impunity deals precisely with the fragility, or the dubious acceptance, of these historical and coercive pacts of domination of women, who very often are victims of physical and symbolic violence, and for "doing justice with their own hands" are condemned by State. This is the case of Sara, the central character of Sol de Carvalho, who kills her husband with beatings and is convicted and imprisoned in a prison in Maputo. This work focuses first on the theme of violence against women in Mozambique, a country made up of indigenous cultures of secular patriarchal traditions; continues to observe the dramatic action between the various plans of the film, the narrative progression, the suspense and the dialog of characters. And it stops at last in the symbology of the mystical elements that "sew" the narrative action between the various planes.
