| description | Maggie Gyllenhaal´s film The lost daughter -an adaptation from Elena Ferrante´s novel “The dark daughter”- addresses the issue of woman´s desire as not reducible to the desire of motherhood, installing a conflict with other desires for personal and sexual fulfillment. The film can be read as a criticism to the social commandment addressed to women to dedicate themselves as wives and mothers. From this critique to the patriarchal order, the character of Leda is an Ibsenian heroine. But that aspect of the film is insufficient to explain her behavior. The scene in the beach of a young mother with her little daughter and her doll, forces her to reconsider her past decisions. There is an ignored dimension in her as a daughter, that opens us to the effects of maternal havoc on the mother-daughter bond. |

The film can be read as a criticism to the social commandment addressed to women to dedicate themselves as wives and mothers.

There is an ignored dimension in her as a daughter, that opens us to the effects of maternal havoc on the mother-daughter bond. La hija oscura, de Maggie Gyllenhaal, adaptación de la novela “La hija oscura” de Elena Ferrante, aborda el tema del deseo femenino como no reductible al deseo de maternidad, instalando un conflicto con otros deseos de realización personal y sexual. El film puede ser planteado como una crítica al mandamiento social dirigido a la mujer de dedicarse a ser esposa y madre. Desde esta crítica al orden patriarcal, el personaje de Leda es una heroína ibseniana. Pero ese aspecto del film es insuficiente para explicar su conducta. La escena en la playa de una madre joven con su hija pequeña y su muñeca la obliga a reconsiderar sus decisiones pasadas. Hay una dimensión ignorada en ella en tanto hija, que nos abre a los efectos del estrago materno en el vínculo madre-hija.
