A distinctive feature of Haunted Memory is its evocative interplay between voice-over and visual that suspends the viewer – not unlike the curious-child in Víctor Erice’s films – in a position between understanding and non-understanding. This article explores how the practice of the audio-visual essay presents an opportunity to exploit critical uncertainty.

This article compares Roquet’s short with García Lorca’s La casa de Bernarda Alba (1936), exploring how relationships between maids and female employers have been preserved despite the passage of time. When framed by the incidence of class differences, long-held traditions and repressed emotions, silence dominates both texts.
本文将Roquet的短篇小说与García Lorca的La casa de Bernarda Alba(1936)进行比较,探讨女佣和女雇主之间的关系如何在时间的流逝中得以保存。当被阶级差异、长期的传统和压抑的情感所束缚时,沉默主宰了这两个文本。

Haunted Memory evokes those themes across Erice’s cinema that are of universal significance: memory, childhood, the nature of cinema itself. Mostly absent, however, is the specifically Spanish context, something that attests to this audio-visual essay’s engagement with the predominantly poetic, rather than explicative, approach of Erice’s work.

This article examines Haunted Memory’s overall structure and how the voice-over commentary both caresses the images as treasured objects and inscribes new meaning. Thus, the video essay goes beyond paying homage to the celebrated film director and considers the universality of the experiences of trauma and cinema.

Through explicitation of Roquet’s aesthetics – including echoes and reflections of Erice, Hammershøi and Martel – this article argues that The Goodbye harnesses intertextuality concisely to question how class, language, gender, servitude and race intersect. It addresses the role of grief in illuminating the indignities of deeply entrenched power relations.

The article discusses the strength of stillness both at a narrative level related to Rosana’s appearance and at an aesthetic level related to the soundtrack. The quiet sound design communicates intensity and meaning, as does Rosana, who is largely ignored by the family but is an eminently strong character.
