Juventud en marcha (2006), de Pedro Costa. La misiva negada. Palabra, memoria y resistencia / Colossal Youth (2006), by Pedro Costa. The Denied Letter. Speech, Memory and Resistance

Abstract

El presente artículo estudia la presencia del elemento epistolar en la obra Juven­tud en marcha (Juventude em marcha, 2006), de Pedro Costa. Su análisis fílmico pretende demostrar cómo la imposibilidad de la escritura de una carta se convier­te en acto de resistencia de la palabra y la memoria frente a la marginación y la exclusión que sufren los inmigrados. La misiva negada se transforma, entonces, en progresivos y reiterados recitados que construyen su contenido al tiempo que definen la naturaleza de esta resistencia epistolar mediante variaciones en su puesta en escena. La estética de la hibridación documental-ficción desarrollada por el cineasta a través del uso de la imagen digital se confirma como definitoria de un cine contemporáneo que evidencia su relación y evolución respecto de la modernidad cinematográfica. Mediante la estilización, abstracción y ficcionaliza­ción de una materia prima documental, la realidad del barrio de Fontainhas, Cos­ta genera una atemporalidad de naturaleza mental, donde se revela una imagen esencial que recupera el concepto de indiscernibilidad enunciado por Gilles De­leuze en torno a la imagen-tiempo de la modernidad; una estética de reescritura de lo real que se produce, igualmente, con la materia epistolar, donde una carta de Robert Desnos escrita desde un campo de concentración antes de su muerte se convierte en palimpsesto epistolar creado por Costa a fin de atestiguar la ne­cesidad de memoria de los excluidos; una carta nunca escrita y constantemente recitada dentro de una atemporalidad que permite el diálogo del remitente epis­tolar con su identidad pasada. La misiva sufre, de este modo, el mismo proceso de abstracción que la propuesta estética del cineasta con el objetivo de hallar la imagen esencial epistolar que persigue el autor, la de un acto de resistencia po­lítica y artística compartido, gracias a la presencia de esta insólita misiva negada.Palabras clave: Pedro Costa, cine contemporáneo, misiva, imagen digital, análisis fílmico.Abstract The aim of this article is studying the use of the epistolary device in the film Colossal Youth (Juventude em marcha, 2006), by Pedro Costa. I will analise this element to demonstrate how the impossibility of writing a letter becomes an act of resistance, by means of speech and memory, against the marginalization and exclusion suffered by immigrants. The denied letter then turns into progressive and repeated recitations that construct its content while defining the nature of this epistolary resistance by the variations in its mise en scene. The aesthetics of the hybridization of documentary and fiction, achieved through the author’s use of digital image, defines itself as representative of a contemporary cinema that reveals its relation and evolution in regard to modern cinema. By means of the stylization, abstraction and fictionalization of a documentary raw material, the reality of the Fontainhas neighbourhood, Costa generates a timelessness of a mental nature where an essential image is revealed; an image that recovers the concept of indiscernibility enunciated by Gilles Deleuze about the time-image of the modern cinema. An aesthetics of a rewriting of reality which is also produced in the epistolary material, where a Robert Desnos’s real letter, written from a concentration camp before his death, becomes an epistolary palimpsest created by Costa in order to testify the necessity of memory of excluded people. A letter never written and repeatedly recited inside a timelessness that allows the dialogue of the sender with his past identity. Thus, the letter suffers from the same abstraction process of the filmmaker’s aesthetics proposal with the aim of finding the epistolary essential image pursued by Costa, the image of a shared act of politic and artistic resistance, thanks to the presence of this unique denied letter.Keywords: Pedro Costa, contemporary cinema, letter, digital image, film analysis.
