After the little comedy achieved “Lovers passengers” Almodóvar returned to melodrama, where it moves as anyone, and He was ready for release when he jumped the famous scandal. He decided to delegate its promotion in other people, just in case, but his followers, who still thousands and millions in the world, will recommend his new film as they can. And more when you go to contest Cannes the best film festival in the world, and the French public always at your feet.
usually rely little on novels by other authors, and if it does, it is always a free version, it has to be almodovariano 100% what you see on the screen. And once again reinvents itself, because as well said by some film critics, other authors are enclosed in themselves, but he tries to find new ways to your movie.
Centra the story in a great central character, Juliet we see on the screen with two actresses. Adriana Ugarte Young and Emma Suarez mature. The best scenes have them the second, which express the terrible drama of his character without falling into hysterical theatrics that other filmmakers would demand their actresses.
Many small details that populate the film seem trivial, but they have some relationship to the whole. One critic says not understand what suicidal paints the train to Galicia but has a clear relationship with the guilt that Juliet will have on everything that happens. Even the scenes of street basketball have them.
photograph Juliet has been entrusted to French Jean-Claude Larrieu ( “Girls on the 6th floor “,” Molière bike “) magnificent and beautiful, knowing how to make attractive various corners of Spain that appear in the film (Madrid, Galicia, Andalucia and the Aragonese Pyrenees ). It fits perfectly to almodovariano universe with the plane usual a blanket of red velvet and some quasi-experimental planes (the train seen from below).
Juliet (Adriana Ugarte) meets Xoan (Daniel Grao) on a train after the suicide of a passenger, with whom she would not talk. They end up falling in love and she becomes pregnant with him, having a daughter and went to live at home. One day, she gets angry with him because he knows who sleeps with a friend (Inma Cuesta), and he dies fishing on a stormy night. From there, the events will be triggered.
The other actors are Rossy De Palma, with a peculiar aspect trademark, Dario Grandinetti as the new love of Juliet and Michelle Jenner as the childhood friend of the daughter of the protagonist. More characters there, but all have reason to appear, none left over.
The narrative rhythm is great, not decline at any time, the drama and pain grow during the hour and a half of the film without reach extremes that have sunk. That also Almodóvar has been reinvented, as always sinned details and characters that hindered rather than contributing something.
Almodóvar has little to show to succeed, for his enormous talent and charisma know readapt to the new times, where that style and even his way to promote their films then needed a change, less flamboyant, less than circus.
the age he has relaxed and meditates much what it will do, for those people who want to make him disappear lurks as wild, eager beasts of unseat to put “theirs” that however you recognized as one of the great
JULIET. * * * *
