Abstract

This work approaches the woman's relationship with the sensuality as portrayed in four films of the 1960s, released in different countries. The films are: Never on Sunday (Pote tin Kiriaki, 1960), by Jules Dassin; Repulsion (1965), by Roman Polanski; Belle de Jour (1967), by Luís Buñuel and The Graduate (1967), by Mike Nichols. We used as theoretical referencial the Discourse Analysis of French matrix, which understands the subject as crosses by the ideology and the unconscious, allowing to understand the film in its opacity, embracing the verbal and no-verbal discursive processes. We seek to understand the sense effects in the discourse of a cutting that presents its regularities in the characteristic production conditions of the decade that all the films belong, giving to women a rupture place with the dominant patriarchal discourse in the movies from previous times, evidencing others senses that were silenced.
