Jazz como Elemento Catalisador da Tragédia Grega, segundo Friedrich Nietzsche, no Filme Crise (1945) de Ingmar Bergman

Abstract

This paper analyses Ingmar Bergman's movie Crisis (1945), mainly focusing on the party scene as a conflict point of the narrative, during which the jazz music can be seen as the catalysis to a greek tragedy, as stated by Friedrich Nietzsche, amongst the involved characters. The hypothesis here discussed is that the Swedish filmmaker writes Jack as a dionysiac personification; and the teenage Nelly as the symbol of apollonian values. During the party, passion unites these characters in a subtle but powerful way,  unleashing the plot, whereas jazz acts as the main element of the scene.
