Movie of the Day
Mildred Pierce (1945) — Film noir soap opera about an ambitious entrepreneur whose sacrifices for her ungrateful child threaten her success and happiness. Yes it is contrived and overdramatic, but it is also a fantastic movie, bringing together impeccable direction, great performances, and perfectly rendered, shadowy cinematography to systematically deconstruct the myth of the American Dream and showing the potential of melodrama to be powerfully thematic. (Side note: the death of the younger daughter is, for me, one of the saddest moments in cinema, not because of the loss of a child, but because her character seemed the most alive and the most interesting, holding within her our innocent, idealistic dreams of America's goodness, buoyancy, and novelty.) +
