un monstre em ve a veure | 2016



A monster calls, the movie directed by J.A Bayona that talks about us.Yes, about us, about our inner I and, especially, the fears that we have and those fears that, sometimes, we don't know how to master. 

The protagonist, Conor, is a boy that lives in a world with practically no support. His parents ara divorciated, he suffers from bullying at school and her mother has cancer. Despite that, he tries to live his life as a boy of his age. 

However, every night, Conor has a dream and always wakes uo at the same moment, at the same time. We do not know how the dream ends, and he seems like either. 

Nevertheless, this story, that combines reality, fiction, aquarelas and dreams (or nightmares) is a metaphor of what we do not want the world to know about us, because we think it isn't correct or ethic or even a metaphor of those things we don't even face ourselves. 

It is a novel, a poem and film, all in one.

[CAT] Un monstre em ve a veure, la pel·lícula de J.A Bayona parla de nosaltres, Sí, de nosaltres, del nostre jo interior i, especialment, de les pors que tenim i que, a vegades, no sabem dominar. 

El protagonista, Conor, es veu sol en un món on pràcticament tothom li gira la cara. Els seus pares estan separats, pateix "bullying" a l'escola i la seva mare te càncer. Enfront a tot això, ell intenta portar una vida el més adequada possible per un noi de la seva edat. 

Cada nit, però, te un somni i es desperta sempre en el mateix moment precís i a la mateixa hora. No sabem com acaba el somni, i ell, sembla que tampoc. No obstant, aquesta història que combina ficció, realitat, aquarel·les i somnis o malsons, no deixa de ser una metàfora del que no volem mostrar al món, potser perquè creiem que no seria correcte, o el que és més, del que no volem afrontar nosaltres mateixos. 

És una novel·la, poema i pel·lícula, tot en un.

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!

the sound of music/sonrisas y lágrimas | 2014

Yesterday I had the pleasure of going to the theatre to see The Sound of Music (Sonrisas y lágrimas, el musical).  I was looking forward to see it since it came to Barcelona and yesterday I could finally see this amazing musical starring Silvia Luchetti which amazed me with her performance, the kids also were amazing and the rest of the cast too, especially Noemí Mazoy. It was at the Tivolí Theatre and even though it is not very big it was quite crowded. The love story was amazingly told by all the actors that danced and sang live and brought their best. The coreography was very remarkable and the feelings went out very soon. I would strongly reccomend seeing this musical because it is a story that never fails to disappoint you and in which you see the kindness and tenderness of its protagonist Maria and the transformation of Captain Von Trapp, who first is kind of insensible with his kids and finally becomes a loving and caring father. A play for all the families, bot...
