Résumé

Connection with the cinema has pushed Mexican novelists to experience narrative themes and styles that contributed to the creation of innovative literature.In this work, we will examine the impact of cinema in the novel “The Death of Artemio Cruz”, one of the most representative works of Carlos Fuentes and the peak point in the course of the Seventh Art Influence in Mexican Narrative.The novel, which is marked by a notable innovation in term of narration level, is rich in techniques related to cinematographic discourse, which characterized important transformations, not only in the structure of the novel but also in the style.The purpose of these pages is to analyze these cinematographic techniques and the parallels between the novel “The Death of Artemio Cruz” and the movie “Citizen Kan”, in terms of presentation and evolution of prominent personalities in both works.
