Mildred Pierce, Film noir or melodrama?
Abstract
In this film made in 1945, appears right described the problematic that the mixture of genders has caused around the whole of films called Film Noir. The interest for a greater realism on light‘s treatment, the flashback, the voice offstage and the use of real outsides, gives form to a new society described in many occasions by the hard boiled ’s style; which in this occasion, it melts with the passions overflowing that surround the life of Mildred Pierce, a new victim independent and fighter, who provides the base to an argument full of elements that in the past were exclusive of the melodrama.
