Abstract

This article analyzes the “longitudinal temporality” in cinema. This temporality has a significant presence in non-fiction cinema, in the so called “longitudinal documentary,” which has being made since the Sixties up to now. It can also be found in autobiographical filmographies such as the ones of Alan Berliner and Ross McElwee. And recently, fiction cinema has explored it in a very explicit way in the successful film Boyhood. Here we will analyze the narrative and thematic features that characterize this type of temporality, exploring the likeness and differences between the more classical proposals of non-fiction cinema and the recent one posed by Boyhood from the side of fiction cinema
