Thérèse narra la corta vida de Teresa de Lisieux
(1873-1897), desde su ingreso al convento de las carmelitas hasta su
temprana muerte a causa de la tuberculosis. Para Teresa, el camino a la
santidad estaba en los pequeños actos hechos con amor, y este concepto
es el que Cavalier ilustra en una serie de viñetas relacionadas con
situaciones cotidianas, filmadas con sencillez y sensibilidad.
Cavalier filma un estilizado retrato de Thérèse Martin, que deviene una extraordinaria obra
maestra, una inusual forma de reflexión sobre el sentido de la
espiritualidad y no sobre la religión como era de esperarse. Una
película acerca de la vida de una mujer en un mundo donde el silencio,
la obediencia y la introspección son la regla.
Cavalier presenta en Thérèse un amplio estudio
del impulso religioso como una forma sublimada de sexualidad, su
maravilloso film ilumina en tonos terracotas y tierras (un tributo a
Rembrandt, Caravaggio y el Greco) el retrato de la adolescente Thérèse
Martin, y a través de una serie de viñetas, fotografiadas de una manera
exquisita por Phillippe Rousselot, muestra como la novicia se adapta al
ritmo y a la vida del convento – las prolongadas oraciones, los largos
periodos de silencio, las mortificaciones de la carne, el gozo y la
humillación de la vida comunitaria, el despertar sexual y las
excentricidades de algunas de las monjas-. Enfatiza los lazos de
hermandad y los asemeja a una condición, a un estado que incluye
susurros, sometimiento, intrigas, pequeñas conspiraciones, celos. Las
tomas austeras muestran siempre a las monjas carmelitas en grupos de
dos o tres, hay abundantes primerísimos planos de manos, ya sea en el
trabajo, o de manos que se encierran dentro de otras manos.
El film minimalista, con fuertes influencias de Bresson y de Dreyer,
captura los breves retratos de la vida monacal en espacios vacíos,
carentes de ventanas, como si el exterior no existiera, una manera de
captar una atmósfera vedada a las mayorías, restringida únicamente a
unos cuantos claustros que, pese a sus limitaciones espaciales, guardan
hermosos y terribles momentos.
-- Crítica de Jesús Domínguez López tomada de El Espectador Imaginario
Thérèse, Alain Cavalier's cool, unsentimental, astonishingly
handsome consideration of the life of St. Therese of Lisieux
(1873-1897), is a far cry from "The Song of Bernadette." Here are no
heavenly choirs, no visions bathed in celestial light, no skeptics
suddenly transformed into believers by miraculous, not otherwise
explicable phenomena. Instead, Thérèse is resolutely objective. It
examines the religious faith and exaltation of Thérèse Martin, later to
be known as the Little Flower of Jesus, in the pragmatic way with which
she herself seems to have accepted the experience of her conversion. As
played - radiantly and with a good deal of humor - by Catherine Mouchet,
Thérèse remains a mystery not to be analyzed but to be accepted as a
fact of church history.
Thérèse is one of those rare films whose visual beauty is not ornamental or a substitute for something else. It's been composed by Mr. Cavalier, and photographed by Philippe Rousselot, as if it were a series of tableaux, set against what appears to be a neutral, yellowy-green backdrop, on a stage so shallow that the camera's only choice is to move from side to side and, on occasion, into a close-up. Though Thérèse initially looks theatrical, it doesn't look like filmed theater. The screenplay picks up Therese as a young teen-ager planning to join two of her older sisters who are already in the Carmelite order. Nothing about convent life surprises or deters her, not the worldliness of some of the nuns, the intense sexual feelings of others or even the eccentricities of the mother superior. On Christmas Eve, the nuns mark the birthday of "our husband-child" with champagne and oysters and by dancing and taking turns cradling a doll that may be just a toy or the Christ Child. At one point, Thérèse admits to the mother superior that she wants to be a saint. When she's told that she's full of pride, she says she'll be a quiet, secret saint. The film celebrates Thérèse's mysticism in a manner that remains utterly rational - exemplified by its series of short, pungent scenes that have such visual clarity they appear to have been lighted by bolts of lightning.

Corregí ortografía y tiempos de los subtítulos, pero no hice una revisión total. Los subs son "pasables". Una distracción menor para este film tan original.
