Este trabajo de tesis se realizó con el objetivo de analizar las características que
pueden llevar a una película a convertirse en un fenómeno de culto tomando como
base la película musical “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” de 2001 del director John
Cameron Mitchell (Estados Unidos). Se investigaron tres géneros fílmicos (desde
una perspectiva de estudios enfocados en el cine estadounidense), el cine musical
de rock, el cine Queer y el cine de culto, para entender el significado que engloba
su concepción en el cine norteamericano, así como su relación con la película de
estudio. Además de ser géneros relevantes para entender el filme, se escogieron
por ser géneros contemporáneos y poco investigados en español. Se utilizó el
esquema de “Elementos de análisis cinematográfico” propuesto por el profesor
Lauro Zavala para medir el comportamiento de variables en el filme y separar sus
diferentes líneas de acción. El último capítulo está dedicado a intentar comprender
el lugar que ocupan las canciones en el cine musical por medio de la película de
estudio, dividiendo en tres actos los tres momentos más importantes de la
estructura narrativa cinematográfica. El acto primero para la canción que permita
conocer los deseos del personaje, el segundo acto para la transformación del
personaje y el tercero para la culminación del aprendizaje del personaje.

The objective of this work was to analyze the characteristics which can make a
movie become a cult phenomenon. The work is based on the 2001 musical film
"Hedwig and the Angry Inch" directed by John Cameron Mitchell (United States).
Three film genres were researched (from a study perspective focused on movies
from the United States) - rock musical films , Queer films and cult films - in order to
understand the meaning contained in their conception within North American film
making, as well as their relation to studio films. Besides being genres that are
relevant in understanding the film, they were chosen because they are
contemporary genres and because they have barely been studied in Spanish. The
schema used was "Elementos de análisis cinematográfico" ("Elements of
Cinematographic Analysis") proposed by Professor Lauro Zavala to measure the
behavior of variables in the film and to separate the different lines of action. The
last chapter explores the importance of the songs in musical films by means of
studio films, dividing into three acts the three most important moments in the
narrative cinematographic structure. The first act related to song makes the wishes
of the character known, the second act is for the transformation of the character
and the third is for the culmination of learning regarding the character.
