Abstract

The women characters in Matteo Garrone’s noir films, even though they occupy a liminal, marginalised role, seem to be a fair reflection of their times, if not of their cinematographic canon. Mary Wood, in her book Italian Cinema (2005), opens the chapter on “Gender Representations and Gender Politics” with the statement that “fictional female bodies do not seem to be able to represent political or social power”. This article examines two women characters in Garrone’s noirs to understand what kind of political and/or
social power they may have.
