Abstract

The brown bunny (Vincent Gallo, 2003) and Viajo porque preciso, volto porque te amo (Marcelo Gomes e Karim Aïnouz, 2010) are road movies with many points in common: the main one is the mood of their central characters, Bud Clay and José Renato, both suffering due to the end of their affective relationships. Therefore, this paper discusses the framework of road movies the field of film genres. Also, a debate is developed about how movies materialize in image and sound the emotional state of their characters, especially the pain of an absence. The hypothesis adopted is that the close-ups on the face of Clay and oral reports of José Renato inscribe of the emotions of these protagonists.
