EL DESEO EMANCIPADO EN EL CINE Y ANIMACIÓN DE WALERIAN BOROWCZYK.

This paper examines Walerian Borowczyk's emancipated and transgressive desire, present both in his animated films and in his other films of a more erotic genre, frequently analyzed separately. In both, a Catholic imaginary predominates that represses the spectator's most debauched desires. An ideological, sacrilegious and sexual discourse; and in which memories --despite they hurt--, cannot be forgotten, evoking Maurice Halbwachs' idea of collective memory; for instance, the Holocaust seen as a process of industrialization, as seen in the animated film Les jeux des anges (1964); as well as the family dissolution and vouyeurism in Le théâtre de monsieur et madame Kabal (1962). Borowczyk is a brilliant, unclassifi-able and revolutionary author, who stands out for his desire for freedom, his opposition to traditional values and for the claim of unlimited desire.
