Dos Otoños en Paris

"Two Autumns in Paris," is a timely exploration of political upheaval, activism and privilege. When you match a brilliant director with amazing talent and give them a really really good script, the result is magic! I love this political drama.

Endless twists and curve balls are thrown at the audience in Two Autumns in Paris, a political drama centered around Antonio, a wealthy upper-class young man who came to France to acquire his education, and Maria Teresa, a Paraguayan political refugee who came to France to seek asylum. Thought coming from difference backgrounds, their passionate love and trauma bring them together again and again and bridges the social gaps between them, resulting in the most transformative year in Antonio's life. An important film about social justice and human rights. Captivating watch.

This movie is a timely exploration of political upheaval, activism and privilege. The actress does an incredible interpretation. The story catch you to the right end. It is about unforgettable love, youth love that you remember all your life. Very good!

It is a very good story with a message. In particular if you are from a country that lives a dictatorship. The story is a political thriller, drama and romance about a refuge from Paraguay. The storyline just get you until the end. If you watch this movie, you will cry for sure.

Two Autumns in Paris won Best Narrative Feature. Juror Nick Connor, who won the same category in 2019 and joined this year's judging panel, explained his decision: "Two Autumns in Paris is incredibly heartbreaking, nuanced, and deeply touching. A historic examination of class, refugees, and political rebellion that subtly speaks in parallel to the world today. Its turbulent romance set with the background of the 'City of Love' is relatable and raw. As an audience, we fall in love with María Teresa and Antonio just as the characters do with one another, which is down to two fantastic central performances from Maria Antonieta Hidalgo and Slavko Sorman. A scene at the halfway mark is so unforgettable in its brutality that it truly imprints itself in your memory for days. Gibelys Coronado's vision is beautifully classical and traditional yet a story of this kind has never been shown on our screens before. Plaudits to Coronado and Francisco Villarroel for bringing this narrative to life, especially in a time when it's themes and ideas are so important. No matter who you are, this story will likely enlighten you, warm you, and then may even break you."
