Resumo: The dramatic verticality of the Valley of the Fallen, with its giant cross of 150 meters, was expressed through a visual rhetoric, that culminated during the burial in the basilica of his creator, Francisco Franco, on Novembre 23, 1975. These images, symbolizing the essence of dictatorship, have circulated widely after the dictator's death, transformed into authentic noeuds de mémoire (literally "memory nodes", NORA, 1984, p. XII). In the large corpus of the audiovisual avatars of the superlative verticality of the Valley of the Fallen, the Transition's period is particularly fruitful because the cinema appropriated very early this monument in a plurivocal way. The aim of this article is to analyze how the superlative verticality of the Valley of the Fallen is represented in movies during this period hinge of history of Spain. After recalling what were the main features of the francoist representation of the monument, I'll present a sample of five films that prolong or subvert it, stressing their complexity in terms of memory.

Estas imágenes que simbolizan la esencia de la dictadura circularon ampliamente después de la muerte del dictador, transformándose en auténticos “noeuds de mémoire” (literalmente “nudos de memoria”, NORA, 1984, XII). En el amplio corpus de los avatares audiovisuales del Valle de los Caídos, el periodo de la Transición es particularmente fructífero en la medida en que el cine se apropió muy temprano del motivo de este conjunto monumental de manera plurívoca desde una perspectiva memorística. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar cómo la verticalidad superlativa del Valle de los Caídos, en ese periodo bisagra de la historia de España, es tratada por el cine. Después de recordar cuáles han sido las principales características de la representación del monumento en el discurso oficial franquista, presentaremos una muestra de cinco películas concebidas entre 1975 and 1981, que lo prolongan o lo subvierten, poniendo de realce la complejidad memorística que entrañan.UFRGS2015-12-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/anos90/article/view/5465110.22456/1983-201X.54651Anos 90; Vol. 22 No. 42 (2015): USOS PÚBLICOS E POLÍTICOS DA MEMÓRIA: CONSTRUÇÕES, CONFLITOS E REPRESENTAÇÕES.; 87-114Anos 90; v. 22 n. 42 (2015): USOS PÚBLICOS E POLÍTICOS DA MEMÓRIA: CONSTRUÇÕES, CONFLITOS E REPRESENTAÇÕES.; 87-1141983-201X0104-236Xreponame:Anos 90 (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGS-30porhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/anos90/article/view/54651/36143Berthier, Nancyinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-01-12T17:04:18Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/54651Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/anos90PUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/anos90/oaianos90@ufrgs.br||1983-201X0104-236Xopendoar:2023-01-12T17:04:18Anos 90 (Online) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
