Alienation is a concept interpreted from different angles andused in various areas of human thought: in philosophy, psychology, sociology,law, and economics. Some theoretical works and those works of art whichcenter on the phenomenon of alienation, emphasize three main aspects of thisphenomenon: alienation as the loss of essential connections (identification) withthe outside world (society, social group, nature); with close people (the lovedone, family, friends) and, ultimately, with oneself, the true self. It is these aspectsof the understanding of alienation that can also be seen in cinema — an art formwhich, perhaps, responds to the problems and events of contemporary realityin the quickest and most vivid way. Most frequently, the theme of alienation inthe film is based on the development of the artistic image of one — as a rule, themain —character. Despite the fact that alienation a priori implies the “alienation”of the actor’s performance and the minimization of expressive means, the ideasand deep meanings that are very important for the director, the director’saesthetic and ethical principles and his or her interpretation of contemporaryproblems are often conveyed through the image of the alienated character. Theessay deals with the visual and sound techniques and the semantics of word andmusic employed in the process of creating the inner and the outer worlds of analienated film character.
