The objective is to establish traces of grammatical rhetoric in the collection of significant filmic material of this Venezuelan film maker, Román Chalbaud. The method used is semiotic, based on the theoretical-methodological principles of the semiotics of significant production (Bettetini, 1977; 1984; 1996), of culture and text (Lotman, 1996; 1998; 1999; 2000) and of social semiosis (Verón, 1996). A collection of eight films is analyzed : Cain adolescente (1959), Cuento para mayores (1963), La quema de Judas (1974), Sagrado y obsceno (1976), El pez que fuma (1977), El rebano de los ángeles (1979), La oveja negra (1987) and Pandemónium (1997). As a general conclusion it is inferred that traces of Chalbaud’s rhetoric are recorded in the significant subjects of his films, in a personal institutional system,that privileges fiction/chronicle motion pictures of this kind.
