Abstract
This thesis is a study on New Argentine Cinema director Lucrecia Martel. It analyzes her work so far by discussing her feature films relative to their narrative, aural, visual and thematic components. Lucrecia Martel explains that she constructs her films by “layering” narrative and emotional content. This thesis will analyze what this statement means. Through these elements, the thesis attempts to characterize Martel's unique qualities as an auteur by paying particular attention to the elements of film grammar, such as sound and image design, which she uses to convey relevant plot information and to create meaningful metaphors that expand the image-space. The thesis will contribute to the relatively little written in English on Lucrecia Martel.
