Significantes intertextuales en la banda sonora de Bernardo Bonezzi: paradigma del cine de Pedro Almodóvar : Intertextual Signifiers in the Soundtrack of Bernardo Bonezzi: Paradigm of Pedro Almodóvar’s Cinema

• Despite his recognizable compositional skills, Bernardo Bonezzi could not escape the influence of great classical and film composers. Thus, several of his works, especially those from Pedro Almodóvar’s films, are imbued with the compositional language of Nino Rota, Bernard Hermann, Erik Satie and Igor Stravinsky. First, the borrowed musical references are identified and then placed in a new socio-historical, geographical and cultural-ideological context. The use of the waltz “What have I done to deserve this?”, composed as part of the intertextual interweaving of the soundtrack of various cult films, is analyzed in detail. In this paper, a new method of analysis is applied in which pre-existing sound resources are given new sensory, affective and conceptual meaning. It is thus possible to decipher the intertextual chains of signifiers in “Bonezzian” music and determine whether there is an authentic authorial voice in it.
