Cambiando los relatos del envejecimiento: Las representaciones de la vejez femenina de Emma Thompson en Late Night y Buena Suerte, Leo Grande
Resumen Al inicio de su sexta década de vida, Emma Thompson sigue siendo una actriz prolífica, cuyos trabajos cinematográficos más recientes presentan la edad como un aspecto destacado. Mientras que en la película Late Night (2019) recrea la crisis de una presentadora famosa de programas de noche, cuya carrera parece acabarse cuando cumple sesenta años, en Buena suerte, Leo Grande, presenta la cruzada personal de una mujer que ha enviudado recientemente y que quiere sentir placer sexual por primera vez en su vida. En este artículo, ofrecemos el análisis textual de los contra-relatos del envejecimiento femenino que se desarrollan a través de dos de las interpretaciones más recientes de Emma Thompson en papeles protagonistas. A través del género de la comedia dramática, estos relatos cinematográficos de la vejez femenina tratan y a la vez subvierten temas que todavía se consideran tabú desde puntos de vista edadistas o sexistas, o ambos, y que están estrechamente relacionados con la sexualidad (femenina), la creatividad y la imagen corporal en la madurez.
