Com esta pesquisa, objetivamos realizar a análise fílmica do documentário brasileiro Elena (Petra Costa, 2012). O filme, protagonizado por mulheres e de caráter autobiográfico, revela a jornada da cineasta, Petra, em busca da irmã, Elena, que fora morar em Nova York para realizar o sonho de se tornar atriz de cinema. No decorrer
da película, entretanto, descobrimos que Elena se suicidou nos Estados Unidos e que a busca de Petra foi motivada pelo desejo de conhecer melhor aquela irmã sobre quem pairava uma estranha sensação de duplo. Ao final, ela sente simbolicamente a morte da irmã pela última vez e, à semelhança da água, permite-se fluir em outras direções, trilhando o caminho da sua própria individuação. A partir das experiências das duas irmãs, e em articulação com os conceitos propostos por Sigmund Freud, no artigo Luto e Melancolia, objetivamos refletir sobre como as pessoas podem vivenciar o processo da perda do objeto amado. Pretendemos, ainda, analisar os recursos cinematográficos utilizados pela cineasta para representar de maneira poética a jornada afetiva que empreendeu em busca do conhecimento de si e da irmã. Para alcançar os objetivos da pesquisa, optamos por uma metodologia que tratasse de decompor os elementos constitutivos do filme, de maneira que se conseguisse estabelecer relações entre eles e a história pessoal de Elena e de Petra, através de uma abordagem interpretativa. Para facilitar o processo, dividimos o filme em quatro unidades narrativas a partir das seguintes temáticas: processo de identificação, melancolia, suicídio e trabalho de luto.
This work aims to analyse the Brazilian documentary, Elena (Petra Costa, 2012). The film, which is starred by women and autobiographical, reveals the journey of the filmmaker, Petra, in search of her sister, Elena, who went to live in New York to fulfill her dream of becoming a movie actress. The film eventually reveals that Elena committed suicide in the United States and that Petra's search was motivated by the desire to know better her sister with whom she had a double bind relationship. In the end, she symbolically feels her sister's death for the last time and, like water, allows herself to flow in other directions, following the path of her own individuation. Based on the experiences of the two sisters, and in conjunction with the concepts proposed by Sigmund Freud’s essay “Mourning and Melancholia”, the present research aims to reflect on how people can experience the process of losing a loved object. It also intends to analyze the cinematographic resources used by the filmmaker to poetically represent the affective journey she undertook in search of self-awareness and understanding of her sister. For this purpose, the constitutive elements of the film are considered in a way that possible to establish relationships between them and the personal history of Elena and Petra, through an interpretive approach. The film is thus divided into four narrative units based on the following themes: identification process, melancholia, suicide and mourning.
