Kiss me deadly, brillante noir


Kiss me deadly (El beso mortal), es un noir de Robert Aldrich que aparece en 1955, cuando ya se atisbaban los epílogos de este fabuloso género fílmico. La película irrumpe brutalmente con una joven y linda rubia sólo cubierta por su gabardina, que completamente atribulada trata de parar algún auto en medio de una carretera en busca de auxilio; ella casi se lanza sobre un coche deportivo el cual derrapa y casi se estrella, pero cuyo conductor finalmente decide darle el aventón. Así arranca este clásico que tiene como protagonista a Mike Hammer, un cínico investigador privado, especialista en casos de divorcio, galán y chantajista, que cuenta con Velda su polifuncional secretaria, side-kick y amante, con quien hilvana todos sus casos.
El hecho detonador de la película es el aventón a la misteriosa rubia llamada Christina, en homenaje a la poetisa Christina Rosetti (hermana de Dante Gabriel Rosetti), quien es misteriosamente torturada y asesinada por una panda de anónimos pistoleros haciendo pasar el crimen como si fuera un accidente de coches, mientras transitaban la carretera junto a Mike en busca de una estación de buses.
Mike, muy pertinaz él, después de sanarse después del accidente automovilístico que acarreó la muerte de Christina, impetuoso se larga a la carga con el fin de aclarar el misterio que envuelve a la misteriosa rubia. En su camino comprobaremos que Hammer es tipo de estirpe marlowesca, con mayores tintes de gigoló, en una trama escrita por A.I. Bezzerides que rezuma el confuso y magnético estilo chandleriano plagado de personajes y de giros de trama, con todos los motivos que le puedes pedir a un noir de casta: femmes fatales, matones con cachiporra en mano, personajes chantajeados y amedrentados, secuestros, asesinatos, sombras, muchas sombras, luces, pocas luces, y así tantos recovecos que hacen del cine negro algo tan seductor.
La pesquisa es sumamente borrosa, confusa, y toda la trama gira en torno a un McGuffin formidable. Como en muchas excelentes historias el viaje es más importante que la conclusión, pero en este caso ambos son igualmente fascinantes, ambiguos y desconcertantes. Todo esto ornamentado por la maravillosa fotografía de Ernst Laszlo plagada de planos picados y cenitales que le dan un vértigo especial a la narrativa, además de acompañamiento de música clásica de Chopin, Schubert y Brahms que le otorga un guiño bastante solemne y distintivo a todo el entorno noir.
Para definir este oscuro clásico, sólo amerita una palabra: brillante.

Noir de culto. Robert Aldrich firma una película magistral con el detective Mike Hammer y sus chicas arropándole. Menudo final. Un lujo para los sentidos. Un abrazo

Gran película, si señor. Quizás se trate además del primer mestizaje noir-ciencia ficción de la historia, con ese estupendo final cegador. Aldrich es uno de los directores más interesantes que surgieron de Hollywood en aquella época y no tiene la prédica que se merece. A pocos directores he visto hablar de él como merece (ahora solo me vienen a la mente Alex de La Iglesa y Park Chan Wook)
Muy interesante tu blog, lo añadiré a nuestro blogroll, y por supuesto, cuenta con un seguidor más.

León, gracias por tus palabras sobre el blog y me parece muy sugestiva el matrimonio que propones entre el noir y la ciencia ficción, y verdaderamente cuela. No he podido ver muchas más pelis de Aldrich, pero las tengo en carpeta. Nosotros también te estaremos siguiendo, un abrazo desde La Paz.
