Article Title:Literature and filmic quality: El 'Vocabulario de los Balcones' (Almudena Grandes, 1998) and 'Aunque Tu No Lo Sepas' (Juan Vicente Cordoba, 2000)

Abstract:
In the tales and narrative collections of the Spanish writers, different arts and genres can be encountered. This article focuses upon the study of one dialogue between El vocabulario de los balcones, published by Almudena Grandes in 1998, and Aunque tu no lo sepas (2000), the debut of Juan Vicente Cordoba as director. Because the Grandes' tale has a very filmic language: flashbacks, cuts, flashforwards and almost the steady cam. Here, I study the development and influences in this opera prima where Cordoba shows the effects of his light over the words.
