Tanatología: Algunas visiones en el cine. Muerte de un viajante (1985) y El amor ha muerto (1984)

Abstract

It is easy to check the knowledge and advances that thanatology has contributed to society. The cinema, as an art form focused on human beings, provides its own analysis of death. The present article explores human responses to situations deriving from end-of-life issues, the loss of loved ones, types of death, individual-family grieving and other aspects in two representative films: Death of a Salesman (1985) by Wolker Schlondoff and L’Amour a mort (1984) by Michel Choquet.
