Abstract

The mini-serial Hoje é Dia de Maria (Today is Mary’s Day, by Luiz Fernando Carvalho, 2005) indicates a deepening of the postmodernism on Brazilian television. The hiperestetization and the intensification of traits as the alternating between naturalism and antinaturalism are results from the increase of exchanges between television and cinema. The analysis is based on the David Bordwell’s theory about the history of style as a network of problems and solutions. There are evidences that the Brazilian television may have stepped into a new phase of fictional narrative, with consequences in the field of communication.
