Abstract
Resumen: En su último documental, Nostalgia de la luz
(2010), el cineasta chileno Patricio Guzmán va más allá de la concepción de filmes anteriores en los que utilizaba la memoria como tema y motor de los relatos. Ya no se trata solamente de un uso de la memoria como mecanismo para revisitar el pasado, entender el presente y construir el futuro. Ahora el cine como artificio que posibilita metáforas y abre caminos para un viaje por el tiempo se presenta como una máquina de indagación y sondeo, capaz de intervenir sobre los anclajes materiales de la memoria. En este documental, Guzmán incorpora toda la trayectoria de sus filmes anteriores y redobla la apuesta: el cine permite transitar diferentes temporalidades, y en lugar de utilizar los objetos o el paisaje solamente como metáforas y disparadores de memoria, interviene sobre ellos y los pone en diálogo con esas temporalidades para darles un significado.
Palabras Clave: memoria, Nostalgia de la luz, cine, tiempo, objetos, paisaje, Patricio Guzmán.
Abstract: In his last documentary, Nostalgia for the Light (2010), Chilean filmmaker Patricio Guzmán goes beyond the notions of some of his previous films in which he used memory both as a topic and a motor of his narratives. Memory is not just a mechanism that allows the film to revisit the past, understand the present and build the future. More than that, now cinema is an artifice that enables the use of metaphors, opens up paths that lead towards a travel through time and presents itself as a machine of inquiry and exploration, able to intervene on the material anchors of memory. In this documentary, Guzmán incorporates the trajectory of his previous films and doubles down his bet: his cinema is able to go through different temporalities and, instead of having the objects and landscapes be just metaphors or memory triggers, it intervenes on them and lets them engage in a dialogue with those temporalities in order to reach new meanings.
Key Words: memory, Nostalgia for the Light, cinema, time, objects, landscapes, Patricio Guzmán.
