Filmul, viaţa şi implicaţiile metareferenţialităţii
Film, Life and Meta-referential Inferences

Summary/Abstract: Meta-referential concept has been highly developed in theory for the recent decades, but the applied artistic phenomenon exists since a distant historical period (e.g. Pheidias’ image on the shield of Athens). Frequently found and commented on various arts (literature, painting, theatre, sculpture, music, photography, architecture), meta-referential aspect appeared also in the cinematographic art and in the applied studies of this artistic field. This contribution focuses on the films made by famous directors: Ingmar Bergman (Persona), Woody Allen (The Purple Rose of Cairo, Annie Hall), Michael Haneke (Caché, Funny Games). Some of their creations deal with this issue explicitly, but they also contain implicit elements with symbolic value which must be deciphered by the viwer. These items are the subject of the present analysis and interpretation. Their results are materialized into a new perspective that invites to further meditation and interpretative thoroughness.
