Quién te cantará

After Lila (Najwa Nimri) is found unconscious in the water, she has amnesia, so her friend Blanca (Carme Elias) helps her recover. Lila's house is right on the waterfront, and is quite grand, so Blanca tells her she'll need to start singing at concerts again to support her lifestyle. Acc to the trivia section, the story of a singer retiring after the death of a family member is based on a real japanese singer, although i would guess it's a frequent occurence. Co-stars Eva Llorach as Violeta, Natalia de Molina as Marta. The script is so sparse.... it's almost artistic. Lots of still and slowly panning images. As the story goes on, we find out more and more details of what led Lila to be on the beach. And everyone's relationship with their own mother. Some things are left unanswered, so it may not be for everyone. And some scenes just go on way too long. (Marta) it really didn't need to be over two hours long. I'll need to watch this again to try to figure out just what happened. Nimri had been in the successul Open your Eyes, the original spanish version of vanilla sky here in the u.s. Cantara is subtitled on netflix. Written and directed by carlos vermut. Many awards at the film festivals. He seems to like to write and direct his own projects.

A famous retired singer decides she needs to resume her career due to financial problems. On her way to the stage for her triumphant return, she has an accident and wakes up with amnesia. To resolve the issue, Violeta, an anonymous imitator of the singer, appears to ensure the return of the great Diva.

The mother's permissiveness bothers me deeply, I don't know if it was due to a lack of strength to fight or if she simply gave up due to so much aggression on the part of her daughter, disgusting... A film with several layers, about the relationship between mother and daughters, about flawed dreams , the realization of them and the freedom to be yourself, necessary but commonly underestimated... Great film, graceful and strong photography, good, intense performances, slow but favorable pace...

Sometimes too long shots but in the end it is awesome and deep film

What was the point of Violeta telling Lila to call herself? What was the significance of the dream? Interesting, but jerky plot . Well-performed. Needs second or third watch to make any sense out of the story.

I saw this great film at cinema and wine festival in La Solana at The end of November 2018. The atmosphere created by The director was intense and absorBe You totally. I find Carlos Vermut a potencial genious director, creative and different, with an extraordinary sensibility. The actresses sublime. I highly recommend this film to author film lovers.
