Resumo

O objetivo deste texto é analisar três biopics de Martin Scorsese, questionando se podem funcionar como fonte de memória visual/testemunho para o futuro, mesmo que a subjetividade interfira na montagem de documentários sobre Cinema e Teatro, Literatura e Música. Em relação ao tom e construção dos biopics, os nomeamos como “selfie-biopic”, “accomplice-biopic” e “tribute-biopic”. O corpus principal deste estudo inclui documentários em três mídias: um “cúmplice-biopic” sobre o diretor de cinema e teatro Elia Kazan, Uma carta para Elia (2010); um “selfiebiopic”, Public speaking (2010), sobre o escritor Fran Lebowitz; e uma “biografia de tributo” sobre a música, George Harrison vivendo no mundo material (2011), retratando o guitarrista dos Beatles. O referencial teórico inclui os conceitos de memória subjetiva de Beatriz Sarlo e o estudo de intertextos de Julia Kristeva. Os conceitos de Bill Nichols e Fernão Ramos são relevantes para a definição de documentários modernos, bem como a história do documentário de Deane Williams.
