Mildred Pierce (Todd Haynes, 2011)

 'Mildred Pierce' es una de las grandes joyas de HBO, una miniserie de 5 horas que Cibrán me recomendó diciéndome que era "muy perfecta". Me daba un poco de miedo porque las cosas "muy perfectas" tampoco son santo de mi devoción, y las películas de época, que se pierden entre un exquisito vestuario, peinados, y ambientación, suelen parecerme de lo peor. Sin embargo ya conocía la historia de 'Mildred Pierce' gracias a la película que Michael Curtiz hizo en 1945 y me había gustado mucho, y siendo aún encima de HBO, y siendo aún encima de Todd Haynes y estando aún encima protagonizada por Kate Winslet (en una interpretación al nivel de Joan Crawford), no podía negarme.

'Mildred Pierce' es efectivamente muy perfecta. Muy redonda. Es silenciosa y fuerte e impecable. Es dura, demasiado dura, y por supuesto echa mano de todas las trampas del melodrama: un personaje de moral impecable solo contra el mundo. Algunos le ayudan pero la mayor parte son enemigos o giros trágicos e inevitables. Toda la fuerza del relato reside en este único personaje con la más grande de las virtudes y el peor de los defectos: el instinto de supervivencia a su favor, el amor (filial o de pareja) a su contra.

Lo mejor de la adaptación de HBO y Todd Haynes no es la ambientación, ni la historia en sí, sino la marca de la casa que se impone ante una obra que se podría considerar caduca. Lo mejor de 'Mildred Pierce' son los silencios tras la tormenta, la valentía a la hora de situar la cámara, a la hora de ser excesivo, salvaje, cruel. Lo mejor es su falta de ingenuidad. La sinceridad a la hora de mostrarnos que, citando a Seth, la vida es buena si no te rindes.

  1. Con unha cousa que non estou dacordo é que creo que é moito máis negra que a maioría de melodramas porque esta Mildred é (aínda que o faga todo por Veda ou o que sexa) moito menos intachable moralmente! Cando faga o meu traballo xa che contarei, que teño que acabalo agora no Nadal :)
