Muñecas animadas o sobre un mito clásico como estructura narrativa del filme Love Object (2003)

Abstract

The current work focuses on the presence of the myth of Pygmalion in Love Object (2003), a film directed by Robert Parigi. The myth of Pygmalion has been analyzed as the narrative structure underlying the whole film, which is included within a group of films that deal with the affective relationship between a man and a statue, doll or mannequin. Due to the fact that there are aspects in common with other film works of this typology, we have focused our interest on those constitutive elements of the myth and the artificial woman motif and on the innovations, partly justified depen ding on the film genre to which the film is ascribed: horror cinema.
