The first part of this movie may seem boring and you may think it non sense. It shows the life of a woman, Eva (Julia-Louis Dreyfus) who is divorced and hasn't had an opportunity to marry again, she hasn't found anyone. She is a massagist, that has to listen all day to stories of others. She also has a great friend and a daughter that is going soon to college. 

Everything changes when she meets a woman, who is going to become a client, at a party, and also a non-attractive guy, Albert (James Gandolfini) that is going to change her life. The thing about the film is that there's not an explanation, like other romantic comedies of the relationship between Eva and Albert, it's more like anything happens and everything seems like a couple who old-dating (going out to a Restaurant or to the cinema). A sudden thing changes the movie. Eva realizes, by a guacamole plate, she is dating the ex from the woman she met at the party and is massaging and this one talks nothing but mean things of Albert. 

The point of this movie is that it does not have lots of ups and downs, it is not tragic or very comedic, it is just how a relationship and the life is in lots of cases. Kind and serene it goes on and on.... Of course that by reading or whatching that you could tell this is not interesting but this movie is filled with an amazing script and supported by an amazing Jean-Louis Dreyfus and a giant, magnificent performance by the missed actor James Gandolfini. If they weren't the ones doing this film it could probably have been another thing but the director and writer Nicole Holofcener knew it and did a great job with the actors.

In conclusion this film stands out because of the performances and also because the story is a tipical from classic comedies but it has a different point, the suffering is not the thing the director wants to focus in, she wants to focus on the story, the people, the feelings, the acts of everyday life and the ones that happen once but that stay forever, like saying goodbye to your daughter because she is going to college. Worth seeing, entrataining and overall fond and kind.

barcelona nit d'hivern | 2015

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. Some of them fall in love, others try new things, and some others share a secret they were hiding for a long time...  In the movie everyone learns something about life, family or love... in fact, the magic of Christmas is always present. It is romantic, but you also real and magic and you laugh a lot as well.  A perfect film for these holidays

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!

her | 2013

Her, what a film, what a love story. Wonderful. In the near future, Spike Jonze (director and writer) creates a modern Los Angeles - like Ridley Scott did with Blade Runner, even though it is not that dark - with skyscrapers and an orwellian atmosphere. All the work, ideas, imagination of Scott and Orwell are seen in this movie with the help of Jonze's amazing script and story.  The movie touches so many subjects; from the Blade Runner's humanity or not, to the big brother and technological elements that Orwell created. It narrates the story of Theodore, a letter writer - yes he writes letters for other people -that has just split up with his wife whose he is kind of still in love because they grew up together and he lived nearly all his live with her. Her, the wife - or soon ex-wife - is the cause of the depression of Theodore, but when he discovers a new technological gadget that is programmed to be a kind of "conscience" for the human he buys it.
