«Metafiction» is fiction which reflects on its own artificial character, as something made up, as something created by language, and which can also make playful contact with other fiction. Don Quijote de la Mancha is one of the novels most representative of these and rather curiously it antecedes many of the metafictional strategies present in contemporary cinema. The film Grizzly man by Werner Merzog, even though it is only a documentary, represents the type of strategies that were employed centuries ago by the novel of Miguel de Cervantes. This article is directed to analyse, this aspect —using concepts of generative and tensive semiotics— and shows how the film in question makes reflexions on fiction in the same way as that classic of Spanish literature.
