This film is a small jewel, that although (Japón by Reygadas) falls in the tendency to focus in the apparently simple thing, routine, non important; it does in such a way that his director Carlos Sorin manages to communicate that what sublimes in our lives is in order counts that, with which we fought every day: remorse's, yearnings, illusions. Acclimated in one of the loneliest places of the world, the Patagonia, it films interlaces three histories, that pass slowly as walking of a turtle (in fact is reference to that animal), but which they show after all the essence of the human beings. Splendid performances of non famous Argentine actors which also is very refreshing. You do not let see it.
"Sin ton ni Sonia" a film by Carlos Sama it's a comedy that is a mixture between "Sólo con tu pareja" and "Sexo, pudor y lágrimas". "Sin ton ni Sonia" is funny to droughts, here the critic of the journal Mural (very smaller brother of Reforma and El Norte) it destroyed it, and it is not for as much, I am sure that if had been a foreign or European comedy they had treated better it. In which yes I agree with the writing is not strong in multiple parallel stories that raise, and in wanting to us to make laugh in each short while by it resorts it to the easy joke and the stereotype. In short, surely it will be the Mexican comedy of the year, since it counts on "magnets of ticket office" like Juan Manuel Bernal and Cecilia Suárez, and if the spectator goes with the idea to spend a good short while thus will be.
One very pleasing surprise was to see this Colombian tragicomedy, first film of Rodrigo Triana. With some references to Shakespeare (Romeo and Julieta with return of nut including) this film narrates the history of two families in a marginalized district who are themselves become muddied with the coming of the electrical light their houses. The progress versus human nature, how a man (and his family) can face the fact of to have power? And the envy of the neighbor? I can smell total revenge in so many levels. With very good rate, and between laughter and laughter, the director takes us of the hand to know the being more primitive than he lives in each one on us. Recommendable.
