Contemporary cinema has often shown films whose structure is remarkably broken, discontinuous and dispersive. We observe in this kind of cinema the subtraction or even the deactivation of the narrative flow, its linearity, which promotes new kinds of experience. Thereby, we present a brief analysis of two American films – Short Cuts (Robert Altman, 1993) and Elephant (Gus Van Sant, 2003) – trying to indicate trough the film's scripture some examples of these strategies of fragmentation, noticing, as well, the different senses that this initiative can promote.
