Poetry and Film: El sol del membrillo ´ a n d Los amantes del ci rculo polar Juan F. Egea University of Wisconsin--Madison In the running commentary for the DVD edition of The Godfather trilogy, Francis Ford Coppola states his predilection for some scenes that are, in his view, particularly memorable. In part two of the series, the ``Murder of Fanucci'' scene is a case in point. The loosening of a light bulb and a towelwrapped gun that bursts into flames after the shooting draw the following remarks: We are always trying to figure out how to make these violent scenes memorable or interesting or just . . . you know, if you give it a detail that is just a little different, that it somehow makes what it's really about, which is somebody murdering somebody, just a little more . . . poetic, I guess, memorable in some way. The use of the adjective ``poetic'' to describe a scene in a movie is nothing new. Actually, entire films are routinely dubbed ``poetic'' or ``lyric'' in an attempt to recognize certain moments in their narrative that could be equivalent to what Francis Ford Coppola identifies in his film.
