Superado el ecuador del rodaje en Valencia de “Parecido a un Asesinato”, un thriller psicológico basado en la novela homónima de Juan Bolea que aborda los misterios de la conducta humana.

“Parecido a un Asesinato” sigue a Eva, que vive un momento feliz, con una nueva pareja, Nazario, un escritor de éxito, y su hija, Alicia, una adolescente con la que espera congeniar; por fin tiene una familia que le permitirá olvidar el pasado. Pero no será tan fácil. El horror que sufrió con José, su ex marido, un policía posesivo y violento, vuelve para amenazar su paraíso; de nada le servirá esconderse en el refugio de su infancia, nada podrá protegerla. Será un viaje hacia el miedo, hasta un lugar de consecuencias terribles que afectarán a todos. Nada es lo que parece… Todos son testigos de verdades paralelas.

The Spark of Life: Iglesia’s Latest a Soap Opera Soap Box

Following on the heels of his successful 2010 award winner The Last Circus, Alex de la Iglesia leaves behind genre for his most straightforward drama effort yet with As Luck Would Have It, a denigration of class and greed that operates nearly exclusively as a mouth piece for the overtly obvious views it continuously espouses. Once again snagging some A-list talent, Iglesia sinks them, along with Kiko de la Rica’s glorious cinematography, into a quagmire of telenovelic proportions. A would be satire, Iglesia bungles melodrama, black comedy, and motifs more at home with Arthur Miller into a heterogeneous mixture of humanity where black and white never fade to grey.

We’re here to continue our little festival chat and represent another title In Competition for the Golden Lion statue, this year, at 67th Venice Film Festival.

Balada triste de trompeta or A Sad Trumpet Ballad is the movie that comes from Spanish director Alex de la Iglesia, and it’s already been described as the comedy that follows two circus clowns, but it’s definitely more than just a comedy….

Here’s the A Sad Trumpet Ballad synopsis: “…1937. The circus monkeys scream wildly inside their cage while, outside, men kill and die in another circus: the Spanish Civil War.

The Stupid Clown, recruited against his will by the Militia, ends up carrying out a bloodbath with a machete against the National soldiers while still wearing his costume.

And so starts this eventful adventure in which Javier and Sergio, two terrifyingly disfigured clowns, fight to the death for the ambiguous...

Young Sierva is already possessed by some sort of magic before she is bitten by a rabid dog in the town market. With her three feet of copper curls and winding necklaces and strange speaking patois and her innocence that runs to the side of stupidity, Sierva is a mark for evil long before the dog latches onto her ankle. As the local bishop strongly believes that disease is the devil made visible, and that her subsequent illness is a mark of possession (not of physical frailty), the marquis’ beautiful daughter is sent to the local convent to be watched, observed, and (if need be) exorcised. But is Sierva really sick? And if she’s not physically ill, is she really possessed by the devil?...
