También la lluvia (2010)
Hang on to your seats!
Iciar Bollain's Even the Rain is a taut roller coaster that starts off a tense scene of too many natives showing up for work as extras in a film shoot. The stakes get higher and higher for the hard-nosed executive producer played by Luis Tosar until he is completely pulled in the fight for water unfolding around him. Gael Garcia Bernal is convincing as the emotional film director. Juan Carlos Aduviri delivers a riveting performance as Daniel, an important native character in the film who leads the water war in his spare time. Through the shooting of the film, the local underpaid native extras and the filmmakers relive the injustice perpetrated by the Spanish conquistadores. Riveting performance, unexpected turn of events, tense story. Hang on till the end.
The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind (2019)
Loved every minute
My husband and I loved every minute of it. The direction, acting and the story telling is extremely well done. The music is excellent. The cultural angles like the performers who show up when someone dies were riveting. The race for grains was heartbreaking but so full of tension. I felt like I was running with Maxwell Simba who gave an incredibly sensitive performance. The photography is so beautiful and so true to the land. Aissa Maiga and Lilly Banda brought to life a mother-daughter relationship with great finesse.
