Perdida

The two main actresses are great, the actor not so much But a a great movie indeed

It has cost Mexican cinema to connect with the public. In the first decade of the century there was a tendency to the realistic cinema of social denunciation that was rejected for showing themes that were seen daily in the red note in newspapers and TV. Many argued that it was tremendous cinema. In the second decade there was a 180 ° turn when betting mostly on romantic comedies ramplonas.

That is to say, the fair means that Mexican moviegoers are looking for has not been found. That is why meeting this film has been a pleasant surprise. An erotic thriller of great manufacturing that in turn is a remake of a 2011 Colombian film: 'The Hidden Face'.

A love triangle with ambivalent characters and passionate scenes of fine eroticism in a beautiful house nestled in the middle of the Lions Desert. As in the acclaimed Korean film 'Parasites', the interior of the luxurious residence and the secrets therein play a fundamental role in the intrigues that oscillate between terror, isolation, jealousy and betrayal at different levels.

A thriller that reminded me of good films of the genre like the classic noventero 'Basic Instinct' by Paul Verhoeven for the successive twists that keep the viewer in suspense. A Gesell Chamber that has an effective, forceful and specific dramatic weight in the skein of vehement feelings and internal struggles of each of the characters involved in an effervescent triangle that can overflow at any time.

I can say that next to the film 'Perfect Unknown' are the best Mexican films I've seen in quite some time. I hope the diversification continues. Let them get rid of tasteless comedies and there is an opening to terror, science fiction and thriller.

Great movie, the scenes and the story is great. Sadly this movie already exist since 2011, it's called la Cara oculta. Literally, it's the same movie but with some Mexican actors.

Mexican Cinema used to be in debt with Classical Music Orchestras. PERDIDA is a succesful and much deserved step in the right direction. The film manages to portray the coolness inside music enssembles such as the OFUNAM, besides telling a suspenseful moment in a Director's life. Talent, and beauty all around the team, interesting cameo by Laura García. Too bad she was the only brave personality to remind us time to time Sala Neza hosts the Mexico City Jet Set. The Script structure adds excitement to the mystery to be unraveled. Just one star I must discount, for the soundtrack to had been recorded with electronic samples, and not the real Orchestra that was payed for pretending being directed by Mr. De Tavira. That close PERDIDA's highlights, would have been pimped up with an amazing soundtrack. Regardless the synthesizers are a downgrade, it still adds up to a satisfying viewing.

"Perdida" is an interesting mistery-thriller-drama film, the script is thrilling and full of mistery, the acting is fine, the art direction and cinematohraphy are beautiful and the director work is great. There is something illogical moments and a few silly dialogues, but the movie is good. I can't write more about "Perdida" story because that would be spoilers.
