Memory
Estados Unidos, México, Chile, 2023
Dirección: Michel Franco
Con Jessica Chastain, Peter Sarsgaard.
Duración: 99 minutos
Sylvia es una trabajadora social que lleva una vida sencilla y estructurada: su hija, su trabajo, sus reuniones en Alcohólicos Anónimos. Esto se revela cuando Saul la sigue a casa desde su reunión de la escuela secundaria. Su encuentro sorpresa los impactará profundamente a ambos al abrir la puerta al pasado. Las experiencias antiguas son reconstruidas y recordadas de formas muy distintas entre ambos personajes: la memoria es una materia difusa, fragmentada, y profundamente subjetiva. En el encuentro y la recuperación del vínculo entre dos personas que cargan heridas y traumas, detonan vivencias olvidadas de un pasado que resurge siempre modificado.
Sylvia is a social worker who leads a simple and structured life: her daughter, her job, her AA meetings. This is blown open when Saul follows her home from their high school reunion. Their surprise encounter will profoundly impact both of them as they open the door to the past.
