Abstract

The article deals with the idea of the city as the independent actor in the “Crepuscule” film. The author states that: 1) the screening time, showing the city 2) the city has an impact to the other actors, when it interacts with them, giving its reactions, 3) there are city close-ups in the film, when the whole screen shows the city, 4) these city-only close-ups are based on the narrative of the film, 5) symmetry (similarity) of images of the main characters achieved by using the same means of their presentation. The city is the quintessence of culture. The culture has been researched with the help of the activity concept, so the idea of aggressiveness of culture is important. The culture is hostile to the part of spiritual life, which is not connected to the material consumption sphere. This spiritual side of the personality has another way for the implementation in the city. This way is livoli.

Keywords: cinematography, city, personality, spiritual life, material consumption, culture, livoli.
