San Sebastián, España.- Two author looks deeply aesthetic vocation agreed today in the race for the Golden Shell in San Sebastián: Basque drama “Amama” signed by Asier Altuna, and experimental Argentine proposal . Pablo Agüero to tell the bizarre journey of Evita’s corpse
Just arrived from Toronto, “Eva does not sleep” recreates rigorous sequence shot and black and white the birth of a myth that followed the death one of the most influential women of the last century. And the body of Maria Eva Duarte de Peron (1919-1952) was embalmed with an unprecedented technique, kidnapped ‘came to the Vatican and Argentina received with full honors 25 years later.
The film has an almost theatrical structure and is divided into three acts, a decision as Aguero told “born in the ethical and aesthetic reverts”. It is a “highly elliptical” narrative that focuses on three key moments a history of 25 years. And the filmmaker involves all in a halo of unreality that fuses music and sound editing, voice echoing Evita background as an infinite echo.
“Evita remains the political figure most present in Argentina” said the young director of “77 Doronship”. “The relationship with my generation is very particular, thousands of films about the dictatorship that begins at 76 but said little of the above made. And I wanted to tell those years of repression we’ve never cared much” he said.
“Eva not sleep” is co-produced with Spain and France and starring Gael García Bernal (Emilio Massera), Denis Lavant (Carlos MooriKoenig), Daniel Fanego (Pedro Eugenio Aramburu) and Imanol Arias, who plays the Spanish embalmer Pedro Ara. And yours, he told the actor that just premiered in theaters “Anacleto” is a fascinating story.
Trained in Germany pre-Nazi, he perfected a technique known as parafinización and his fame became such who she was called to embalm Lenin Custom rejected. And Evita in Argentina and about to die (“you are a woman of 32 beats per minute and a pressure of 4-2″, Arias told), she was impressed as it went to the balcony and got “exalt and excite millions people. “
After his death, Ara spent three years preparing the body to convert the wife of Juan Domingo Peron in a” sleeping beauty “. “From my point of view,” said the actor, “medical perfection of Pedro Ara imposiblita the disappearance of Evita”. The paradox is that the body of this woman as loved as hated then return to operation “delusional” propaganda, Aguero added. Well, as with the portrait of Che, also with her capitalism seized another revolutionary icon.
And another icon, this time Basque, also speaks the second film of the day, “Amama” . It filmmaker Asier Altuna is inspired by a poem by Kirmen Uribe to narrate the decline of life in the villages a microcosm governed by rules that centenarians have no place for future generations.
” Poet! “was heard screaming at the end of the first projection to press. And it is that Uribe, who already went through the contest- -out contest with “Aupa, Etxebeste” and “Bertsolari” fills the film a visual lyricism drinking from the beech and wrinkles that furrow the face of the Amama (grandmother in Basque), confronting them with the artistic concerns of the rebellious granddaughter.
“I think the film is improved if there are no words, and I’m happy because I’ve been able to tell the story through the eyes and images “he explained Altuna. For him, who lived to adulthood almost one of those villages, it is the course of life itself that has led to this situation. “The village and has been for centuries no longer makes sense, has changed the way to make a living, but also its place in the world.”
“Amama” is the second film in Basque competing for the Golden Shell after the success of last year ‘Loreak “(Flores). But though his visual will thrilled many, as with “Eva does not sleep” not secured unanimous critical acclaim, so the contest is coming to Ecuador without outlining, for now, no clear favorite.
