Abstract
This text addresses the relationship between gaze and memory in film as a series of interactions that take place in the surfaces of their images and memories. Faced with impoverished experiences such as the annihilation of the past by war, despair and the impossibility to imagine the future, or the angst for a disconnection from the world; film can still pose its gaze on the virtual; it can allow us to see where only superficial glares can be seen, it can even make us remember what we never actually lived. Through the analysis of three (3) movies, famous for the relations they establish with the image, gaze and memory, but also for the experiences they narrate; La jetée (1962) from the director Chris Marker,Hiroshima, mon amour (1959) directed by Alain Resnais, and Le Fabuleux destin d’Amélie Poulain (2001) by Jean-Pierre Jeunet. From the analysis, a categorization is produced for some phenomena that can be observed at the surface level of the image.
