Resumen de Esa pareja feliz. Última vuelta de tuerca sobre el imaginario de Madrid
- español
La ópera prima de Luis G. Berlanga y Juan Antonio Bardem, Esa pareja feliz, se puede leer como una de las últimas aportaciones al imaginario popular madrileño, que hunde sus raíces en el sainete y la zarzuela. A través del análisis de su ambientación, sus personajes y sus recursos paródicos, la película muestra cómo las incipientes clases medias utilizan los recursos de su identidad tradicional para tratar de asimilar los cambios motivados por la modernización.
