De Wikipedia, la enciclopedia encyclopedia
Un thriller social es un género cinematográfico que usa elementos de película de suspense y terror para destacar los casos de opresión en la sociedad. El género ganó atención en 2017 con el estreno de Déjame salir de Jordan Peel, una película que pone de relieve los casos de alienación racial, con la trama basada en una intriga de secuestro de afroamericanos jóvenes. Antes de Peele, otros actores, directores y críticos han usado este término para describir un género cinematográfico incipiente, con ejemplos de todo el mundo.
Many other film critics bandied about the term in their reviews prior to the 2010s but seldom in a way that gave the social thriller its own status as a codified genre in cinema. Prior to 2017, most writers used the term only once, usually in a single review, and to characterize an individual film. In his biography on William Wyler, Axel Madsen calls the 1937 Humphrey Bogart picture Dead End a social thriller.[1] TLA Video reviewer David Bleiler described the 1950 Sidney Poitier film No Way Out as "an exceptionally made, tense drama which succeeds both as medical soap opera and social thriller."[2] Douglas Brode called Spencer Tracy "the alienated anti-hero of the social thriller" for his 1955 performance in Bad Day at Black Rock.[3] Another Poitier film, 1967's In the Heat of the Night, got tagged as social thriller by Leonard Maltin,[4] and was also cited as such on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.[5] Both Tracy and Poitier also appeared in 1967's Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, a film that would later be identified as a key "non-thriller" example of the social thriller genre.[6]
For films produced outside the U.S., more than one reviewer has named the 1961 British film Victim as a social thriller. As the first English language film on record to use the word "homosexual" in its dialogue, Victim raised controversy in the United Kingdom for its critique of Britain's anti-gay laws that would remain in place until the passing of Sexual Offences Act 1967 decriminalized homosexuality for men in England and Wales.[7][8] Ismal Xavier called the 1962 Brazilian political train robbery film O Assalto ao Trem Pagador ("Assault on the Payroll Train") a social thriller.[9] Taiwanese director Bai Jingrui's 1982 film Offend the Law of God has been called "an exploitation social thriller"[10] and the 1996 Spanish film Taxi, about the rise of the racist right wing, has also been given the label.[11]
En su Diccionario histórico del cine ruso y soviético, el autor Peter Rollberg va un poco más allá de las referencias de una sola mención de sus compañeros. Al describir el trabajo del director ruso- bielorruso Aleksandr Faintsimmer, Rollberg escribe: "Fainsimmer se dedicó al género tradicionalmente subrepresentado del thriller social con éxitos de taquilla como No Right to Fail (1974) y The Cafeteria on Piatnikskaia Street (1978)". Rollberg también nombra la película de 1982 de Leonid Filatov The Rooks y el éxito de 1985 de Vadim Derbenev The Snake Catcher como hitos del género en la Unión Soviética . [12]
