blue jasmine | 2013

Imatge relacionada



Woody Allen's new movie is a real must see for this year. Cate Blanchett makes an incredible performance of a woman that has lost everything. She had been part of one of the most rich families in the USA and the world. She had everything but a single moment of her life changed everything.

Woody Allen demonstrates that he knows when he needs and it's the most appropiate moment to do a movie and when not. Right know with the crisis this movie reflects in some way what nearly every 'normal' family has to suffer. It portrays the fact that, we've been loosing things and all things we're missing now. 

The story then, i  a mixture of originality and classic facts that really make this movie one of the best movies of the year.

I also would like to point out the fact that the transitions between the past and the present of Jasmine's life are very well done and that shows the great work that Woody Allen and his team have done. 

Really interesting and must see even if it's only to see Blanchett's performance, she really kills it.

Barcelona nit d'hivern , the sequel of Barcelona nit d'estiu, captures de spirit of Christmas, when everything is possible. The film follows the life of various couples, families, friends  and people that spend the Christmas night in Barcelona.

It is romantic, but you also real and magic and you laugh a lot as well.  A perfect film for these holidays

the secret life of walter mitty | 2013

A dreamer, Walter Mitty is a contemporaneous dreamer that wants to say that to escape from the world we're living in, we don't need, if we would like to change it, to fight, we need to dream. With this motto Walter Mitty starts to change his life and live the dream.  When the Life magazine is about to close it's doors to become a digital source of information Mitty is the person who needs to provide the photography that will be the 5th essence and last cover of the publication. The problem is, he does not find it. The movie, then becomes a journey, sometimes ponderous and boring, where the best thing is the photography. The original story was simple, but this one starts being also simple and changes to be complex and more awkward than it should be.  Very promising, but the result hasn't been as good as it could and should have been. The moral could have been a good point for this movie, but the idea of dreaming to escape from the problems is not convi...

only god forgives | 2013

I saw this movie at the Sitges Film Festival. When the movie started you could feel Gosling's presence in the film as you do all the time that the movie lasts... but nothing more. Ryan Gosling's carachter 'Julian' seems like a ghost that sometimes can be violent and other times he stands up with everything, that her mother says. The movie stands between the violence and the colors, the feelings that the scenes produce on you. I think that the film is a metaphor of the things that happen in a kind of world that exists and where the only way of surviving is violence, but also your way of dying. Right know I can tell I made a good choice, 'cause this movie is different, it has something special Thanks to the Sitges Festival Organization for bringing this movie to Sitges!
