Dos Madres

Foremost By Night, based on true events during the Francisco Franco's dictatorship in Spain, tells the story of undying maternal love - inborn, gained, lost or found. Shot in four chapters each with a different camera frame, I actually welcomed this unexpected various points of views of different story lines and how they connect with each other. Because of its concise script that doesn't want to give too much away and rather leaves the viewer to fill in what is not directly said, the cinematography helps the audience to keep track of the story. Although this is definitely a film-festival type of picture (usually not suited for TV) I dare to say that the message of Foremost By Night is strong enough to withhold in a television programme. Because of its artistic, stoic yet emotive at the same time approach, when I finished watching it the impression of this film stayed with me for quite some time.
