Abstract
Through its architectural mise-en-scène, this chapter claims that La niña santa defies hegemonic aesthetics for framing interior space and reflects questions about order formation in contemporary Argentina. Aspects of the historic Hotel Termas de Rosario de la Frontera seep uncannily into the film’s narrative, creating unstable possibilities for a representational reading of the film. The cinematography enhances further this instability to captures certain architectural features in excess; both sides of the oppositional spatial binaries of surface and depth, framing and obfuscation are accentuated relentlessly through the camera lens, while the social boundaries of public and private assigned to spaces are challenged persistently through the characters’ actions and relationships.
