This article argues that Almodóvar's Volver (2006) confronts and 'works through' personal and collective traumas that return to haunt the present. The film thus functions as a powerful mode of witnessing. In Volver, the present and history have to be understood as undergoing a traumatic encounter. In addition, I propose that the film attempts to recuperate a utopian rural space as an alternative to the discontents produced by the dominant patriarchal and late- modern historical paradigm. However, such a utopian recuperation may imply a nostalgic operation. I attempt to disassociate nostalgia from its reactionary connotations in order to propose that the film functions as a reflection on the incorporation of memory into the present without disavowing longing or the contradictions of late modernity. I also suggest that the film proposes an alternative transgenerational and heterosocial concept of community. Finally, Volver allows us to think of the film medium as articulating a notion of history based on the open-ended coexistence of different temporalities.Este artículo argumenta que la película Volver de Almodóvar (2006) confronta y 'trata con' traumas personales y colectivos que vuelven a atormentar el presente. El film cumple, por tanto, una función testimonial poderosa. En Volver el presente y la historia se deben entender como un encuentro traumático. Además, propongo que el film intenta recuperar un espacio rural utópico como alternativa al malestar producido por el patriarcado y por el paradigma dominante de la modernidad tardía. No obstante, dicha recuperación utópica puede ser motivada por un sentimiento nostálgico. En este artículo, intento desasociar la nostalgia de sus connotaciones reaccionarias para proponer que la película funciona como una reflexión sobre la incorporación de la memoria en el presente sin ocultar ni dicho sentimiento nostálgico ni las contradicciones de la modernidad tardía. Al mismo tiempo, sugiero que el film propone un concepto alternativo de comunidad definido como transgeneracional y heterosocial. Finalmente, Volver nos permite pensar el medio cinematográfico como una articulación de un concepto de la historia basado en la coexistencia abierta de diferentes temporalidades.

In September 2007, a stage production of Pedro Almodóvar's film Todo sobre mi madre received its world premiere at the Old Vic theatre in London. It marked the first official adaptation of the director's work in English, and the first stage version of one of his films that he had actively endorsed. In this article, I examine how this Spanish film came to be staged in Britain and then move on to a critical reading of the production. In my reading, I place special emphasis on two particular aspects. Firstly, I consider whether the theatrical version succeeds in offering a vision of Almodóvar's film that functions effectively in an English sociolinguistic setting. Secondly, I analyse some of the processes by which the play transplants an already highly theatrical film to the stage.En Septiembre 2007, tuvo lugar en el Old Vic de Londres el estreno mundial de una versión teatral de Todo sobre mi madre, la película de Pedro Almodóvar. Esta puesta en escena constituyó la primera adaptación oficial de la obra del director al inglés y también fue la primera vez que Almodóvar había apoyado activamente la versión teatral de una película suya. En este artículo, examino cómo esta obra española llegó a ser montada en el Reino Unido y ofrezco una lectura crítica de la producción. A través de mi lectura, hago hincapié en dos facetas concretas. En primer lugar, examino si esta versión teatral es capaz de ofrecer una visión de la película de Almodóvar que encaja dentro del ambiente sociolingüistico de Inglaterra. En segundo lugar, analizo algunos de los procesos por los cuales la obra teatral transplanta una película, ya en sí misma muy teatral, al escenario. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
