Una de las realizaciones más populares del maestro aragonés Luis Buñuel en la que nos presenta su habitual discurso sobre el erotismo y la burguesía, conjugados en esta ocasión para difundir un ejercicio mesmerizante no exento de su habitual imaginería surrealista.

Sinopsis:

Sévérine, una joven casada con un atractivo cirujano, descubre la existencia de la prostitución matutina. Curiosa, Sévérine ingresa a la casa de citas de Anaïs y termina acostumbrándose a una doble vida. La aparición de Marcel, un delincuente que se enamora de Sévérine, complicará la cómoda situación de la protagonista.


Comentario:

Aunque Bella de día terminó por convertirse en el mayor éxito internacional de la carrera de Luis Buñuel, el director se encontraba sumamente escéptico ante el proyecto y dudó mucho antes de aceptarlo.
Los hermanos Hakim, productores de la cinta, tenían fama de terribles y entrometidos. "Mi agente en París me dijo que los Hakim me proponían la película y me dio la novela. Es una historia un poco folletinesca y yo en principio no quería hacerla. Les dije que, en todo caso, exigía libertad total."
Las negociaciones con los Hakim fueron arduas y Buñuel siempre se mantuvo en su punto. Finalmente, el rodaje se llevó a cabo sin contratiempos, aunque al final tuvo que hacer una concesión a la censura. "Había una escena que incluía la imagen del Cristo de Grünewald, que es la imagen más terrible de Cristo. La escena no se cortó, pero la imagen sí porque podía ser considerada como desagradable."
Bella de día significó la primera colaboración entre Buñuel y Catherine Deneuve. "Los productores ya la tenían programada. Me pareció de un tipo posible para el personaje: muy bella, reservada y extraña. Por eso la acepté."
Aunque en un principio la comunicación entre el director y la actriz fue difícil, el resultado satisfizo a ambos por igual. Cuatro años después, el propio Buñuel eligiría a la Deneuve para estelarizar Tristana (1970).

Photobucket

La adaptación buñueliana de la novela de Joseph Kessel contiene más de un vaso comunicante con el resto de la obra de su director. Como el Archibaldo de la Cruz de Ensayo de un crimen (1955), Sévérine vive la mayor parte del tiempo en un mundo imaginario, en el que los sonidos -y las cajitas- juegan un papel importante.
"Ya se que la cajita inquieta, y más con el zumbido que le puse [...] Yo mismo no sé qué hay en la cajita. Debe ser algo extraordinario, una cosa útil para una perversión insospechada."
Asimismo, las perversiones reales o imaginadas por Sévérine remiten al espíritu de La edad de oro (1930) y a algunos momentos de El diario de una recamarera (1964).
Algo que Buñuel nunca sospechó fue que Bella de día sería su película más taquillera y que gran parte de su público estaría constituido por mujeres. "Parece que sí, que atrajo a las mujeres. Fernando Cesarman, el psicoanalista, ha dicho que soy un misógino, que en mis películas las mujeres quedan siempre por los suelos. No sé. No creo ser misógino. Quizá entiendo poco a las mujeres."

STUDIO CANAL COLLECTION Blu-Ray UK

The Deer Hunter / The Elephant Man / Belle De Jour BR UK

Parece ser que si los discos Blu-Ray de Optimum Home Entertainment en UK son idénticos a los de KINOWELT en Alemania (cosa que a veces pasaba entre los DVDs de MOMENTUM / Studio Canal con los de Kinowelt y a veces NO, repito, en DVD) estas películas saldrían con subtítulos en ESPAÑOL en UK en Blu-Ray (en Alemania ya está confirmado). :-)

En esta segunda tanda no todos vienen con subtítulos en español lamentablemente.
LionsGate tiene las licencias en Blu-Ray USA, así que si no les sirve el de UK, esperen unos meses y sale en USA casi seguro, aunque igualmente el subtítulo será a confirmar, LionsGate tiene como costumbre subtitular en español casi todas sus ediciones, ya sea en DVD o como en este caso BR (Blu-Ray).
Pero bueno, este es el anuncio de las ediciones europeas, que tienen una facha/pinta bárbara:


Optimum Home Entertainment have announced the next wave of titles in the Studio Canal Collection. Exclusively on Blu-ray and arriving on 13th September 2010 are The Third Man, Delicatessen, Mulholland Drive, The Graduate, Le Cercle Rouge, The Pianist and Breathless.

The Third Man is a British cinematic icon from director Carol Reed, author Graham Greene. An undisputed all-time classic, the film features some of cinema’s most memorable set pieces -- the chase through the sewers, the enormous ferris wheel, the elm-lined cemetery -- and Anton Karas’ zither score, a worldwide phenomenon in itself. Winner of the Palme D’Or at Cannes and the Oscar for Best Cinematography.

Delicatessen was the distinctive, spell-binding and never less than surreal debut of the partnership between Jeunet & Caro. Set in a post-apocalyptic world where food is scarce, Dominique Pinon stars an ex-clown who gets a handyman job in an apartment building and then falls for the daughter of the building’s owner – an imposing butcher who has resorted to murderous ways to get his meat. Below that, down in the sewers, live the Troglodistes. These are the rebels: vegetarians.

In Mulholland Drive, David Lynch takes the viewer on a memorable neo-noir trip through Hollywood’s dark underbelly in a mystery that blurs the lines between fantasy and reality and features astonishing performances from Naomi Watts and Laura Elena Harring. In Hollywood Rita, a young woman, looses her memory after a car accident. She meets Betty, an Australian actress who just arrived in Los Angeles. With her help, Rita tries to find her memory, and identity, back. Lynch dispenses with a conventional narrative in favour of an hallucinogenic assault on the senses that will stay with you long after the credits roll.

A perfect combination of the Hollywood heist film and Melville’s trademark existentialism, Le Cercle Rouge is a masterful study of the French Underworld and a uniquely stylish Gallic film noir, starring Alain Delon as an aristocratic master-thief who joins forces with a fugitive and alcoholic ex-cop in order to carry out the ultimate robbery, with each of the mismatched trio determined to cheat fate. They are successful, but the fence, shaken by the value of the loot, suggests they go to a specialist, who is none other than the inspector handling the case.

Son muy lindas las ediciones, lo malo es que hasta el momento no han bajado nada de precio las que salieron antes.
Pero si van a pagar 30-40 dólares por un Blu-Ray, que sea uno de estos, realmente un lujo las ediciones.
