Breve encuentro
Basada en la obra teatral de Noël Coward "Naturaleza muerta", Breve encuentro
es un drama romántico y agridulce sobre dos personas casadas que se
conocen por casualidad en una estación de tren de Londres y mantienen
una intensa relación amorosa. Sentimental pero con los pies en la tierra
y ambientada en la Inglaterra de antes de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la
película sigue al ama de casa británica Laura Jesson (Celia Johnson),
que va de camino a casa, pero se le mete una ceniza en el ojo. Por
casualidad, se encuentra con el Dr. Alec Harvey (Trevor Howard), que se
la quita. Los dos hablan durante unos minutos y se sacan chispas de
inmediato, pero acaban tomando trenes diferentes. Sin embargo, ambos
vuelven a la estación una vez a la semana para reunirse y, a medida que
avanza la película, se van acercando, compartiendo historias, esperanzas
y temores sobre sus vidas, sus matrimonios y sus hijos. Un día, cuando
el tren de Alec se retrasa, ambos se ponen frenéticos por si se pierden
el uno al otro. Cuando finalmente se encuentran, se dan cuenta de que
están enamorados. Pero lo que debería ser una realización alegre está
cargada de tragedia, ya que ambos quieren mucho a sus familias. Howard y
Johnson realizan una actuación impecable como dos personas prácticas y
casadas que se encuentran en una situación en la que saben que nunca
podrán ser felices.[...] "Lean mueve sus piezas con una elegancia y una delicadeza ejemplares.
Plantear una historia de amor que funciona gracias a la contención es
obra de Noel Coward, claro, pero trasladarla a imágenes y que nos
parezca tan intensa, tan viva y tan poderosa es obra suya y de su
equipo, en especial los dos actores principales que en cada gesto, en
cada mirada, en cada silencio y en cada palabra en apariencia
insustancial nos están revelando más cosas que en mil escenas de pasión."

Based on Noël Coward's play "Still Life," Brief Encounter is a romantic,
bittersweet drama about two married people who meet by chance in a
London railway station and carry on an intense love affair. Sentimental
yet down-to-earth and set in pre-World War II England, the film follows
British housewife Laura Jesson (Celia Johnson), who is on her way home,
but catches a cinder in her eye. By chance, she meets Dr. Alec Harvey
(Trevor Howard), who removes it for her. The two talk for a few minutes
and strike immediate sparks, but they end up catching different trains.
However, both return to the station once a week to meet and, as the film
progresses, they grow closer, sharing stories, hopes, and fears about
their lives, marriages, and children. One day, when Alec's train is
late, both become frantic that they will miss each other. When they
finally find each other, they realize that they are in love. But what
should be a joyous realization is fraught with tragedy, since both care
greatly for their families. Howard and Johnson give flawless
performances as two practical, married people who find themselves in a
situation in which they know they can never be happy.
"Forget what you've heard. Brief Encounter is an extremely violent
film. In fact, it is a violence that no Tarantino or Guy Ritchie could
ever come close to. Celia Johnson, as its heroine, Laura, says as much
herself: "I've fallen in love. I'm an ordinary woman. I didn't think
such violent things could happen to ordinary people."
One of the first British films to have praise heaped on it abroad, it is shot in noirish black and white to the music of Rachmaninov. David Lean ably directed Noel Coward's script for this intensely passionate film in which almost nothing happens. In short, Laura gets a piece of grit in her eye (those beastly trains!) and falls desperately in love with the kind stranger (Trevor Howard) who removes it. Romance follows over a series of chance, then planned, meetings all given drama by the emphasis on their brevity.
It is told in flashback in an imaginary confession to her husband (Cyril Raymond) whom she dares not tell out of profound compassion. Without the insight her narration gives we would perhaps see nothing at all in the railway station buffet where both Stanley Holloway and Joyce Carey remind us of the invasive triviality of the everyday with a suspicious intimation that the lower classes have no emotional life.
If you can stomach this and the excruciatingly affected portrayal of the English middle classes, you'll have, at the very least, a lump in your throat. Less cynical souls will weep buckets."
