Directors Gastón Duprat and Mariano Cohn enlist Antonio Banderas and Penélope Cruz to deliver a comedy that zealously skewers everyone in its path – not least Banderas himself. ....
To me in this. there s a lot of research that s gone into it, i think. and is her son aware of what she does for a living? he is. and that, again, adds tension to the story because you don t see them discussing the nature of her work initially. but you sense that s a source of great tension in the house and then it comes to a bit of a head. third then is official competition with some very big names in this film. well, i m a big fan of a lot of the people involved in this film. it stars penelope cruz as a kind of way out larger than life film director, official competition. she plays a fantastic woman, lola cuevas, who is quite pretentious, and she s hired to make a very expensive film on the whim of a producer who s got a lot of money to spend. she decides to spend nine days workshopping with her two ideal actors, and they re played by antonio banderas and oscar martinez. let s have a look at a clip. ....
Rather interesting because you don t normally see this kind of story on screen. are there any twists in it or is it literally the story of her struggle and her despair at times? i wouldn t say it s twist driven, but it does enter into thriller territory towards the end because she starts to take more and more extreme measures to try and find the money. this is a fantastic central performance and she really does strike you as a bulldozer, a woman who will try to get this no matter what she wants. and also, if you re interested in characters, which i am, i think in family dynamics, this is quite sophisticated. there are some wonderful scenes between the mother and the son where you see the tension between them and you see her kind of shouting at this sullen teenager, not knowing how to deal with him. and you as a viewer are going, just calm down, both of you, and talk. and he s sort of waiting for that resolution to come. yeah, that ll resonate with a lot of parents, probably, won t it? ....
Which is the best out. is it deliberate that you ve chosen all of these? accidental? so well, actually at the moment, as has been widely publicised recently, there s not a lot of popcorn blockbusters in cinemas because it s the summer and also pandemic related. but also, i like to choose some of the best films and, quite frankly, some of the best films out this week are foreign language. and we ve got a lovely french film called anais in love. it s a very engaging, romantic comedy about a young woman who has an affair with a man and then actually transfers her attentions to his female partner. so it all gets very interesting. but again, really well scripted, great characters, a lot of fun, terrific performances. yeah, i also read that as a character, you d probably not really want to spend too much time with her, but she s quite an engaging character on screen. she s quite a complex character. she s someone that probably is quite annoying to watch. i think she d be quite magnetic to ha ....
A sad story in a way. so it s not a popcorn thriller in the old fashioned sense, but idris elba s very good and he plays a kind of everyman hero. this isn t the kind of heroic kind of story about a man who s going to save his family by turning into a total action hero. he s he looks visibly scared, which seems a bit more realistic in a way. and, yes, it does. it looks very beautiful as well as these films do when they re shot somewhere like that. next, the french film her way. now, it s a cert 18. so that might give us a bit of a clue. yeah, i ll tell you why in a second. it starts off, it s more like a traditional drama. it s about a woman who s trying to help her young son. he s a teenager. he wants to go to a very expensive chef school. she can t really afford to send him there. one of the reasons for that is that she s a prostitute. so she s a sex worker, she s self employed. she pays her taxes. but the trouble is there are a lot of problems that obviously come along with that in t ....
