MYSTERY, TERROR, DIEGETIC SLIPPAGE AND USOs
(UNIDENTIFIED SOUND OBJECTS) IN
RODRIGO CORTÉS’S BURIED
Mystery and crime narratives in Spanish peninsular artistic expression have
expanded and evolved considerably in the past fifty years, and have become
much more international in subject matter and scope. Narratives of crime, terror,
or mystery are no longer restricted or contained within national boundaries or
traditional media. This presentation will discuss the way that the terror of the
unknown is posited as a mystery to be resolved by the viewers of Rodrigo
Cortés’s 2011 film, Buried. The use of Unidentified Sound Objects (USOs) to create
suspense and terror is crucial, and it is no surprise that Sound Designer, Urko
Garay was rewarded with a Goya prize for his work here. The film includes
significant stretches when the screen is completely black, and in most others,
though dim light from several sources flickers on and off, the specific visual
information is minimal. Most of the film’s mysteries are presented and resolved
through deft use of sound. Buried is a classic mystery/terror narrative in the mould
of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Cask of Amontillado,” and “The Premature Burial.”
The Spanish film reconfigures the 19th-century pattern by using an American
contractor, who is buried alive by terrorists in Iraq. This presentation will unravel
the mystery of this suspenseful crime drama that defies cinema’s generally-
accepted ideological hierarchies, and challenges the sacrosanct hegemony of the
visual.
PATRICIA HART is a Professor of Spanish and is the Director of Film and Video
Studies at Purdue University. She is the author of The Spanish Sleuth, one of the
first comprehensive studies of Spanish Peninsular detective fiction, and has
written widely on Hispanic narrative and film. She received her doctorate in 1987
from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
