Quote:
I don’t have much patience with colleagues who dismiss Charlie Chaplin by saying that Buster Keaton was better (whatever that means). To the best of my knowledge, with the arguable exception of Dickens, no one else in the history of art has shown us in greater detail what it means to be poor, and certainly no one else in the history of movies has played to a more diverse audience or evolved more ambitiously from one feature to the next. The opening sequence in Chaplin’s second Depression masterpiece (1936), of the Tramp on the assembly line, is possibly his greatest slapstick encounter with the 20th century, and as Belgian filmmakers Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne have brilliantly observed, the famous shot of his being run through machinery equates him with a strip of film. Still, there’s more hope here than in Chaplin’s preceding City Lights, perhaps because this time the Tramp has Paulette Goddard, another plucky urchin, to keep him company.Read More »

Marina travels to Vigo to meet the family of her biological father, who died of AIDS, like her mother, when she was very young. Through meetings with her uncles, aunts and grandparents, the young woman tries to reconstruct an account of her parents, but they are all too ashamed of the couple’s drug conflicts, something Marina reminds them of with her presence. It will be the adolescent love story she lives with her cousin that allows her to reimagine her parents and connect with them. In this way, she invents a story, thanks to her mother’s diary, which frees her from the stigma her family feels for them and fulfills the desire to understand the past… Film about family memory that closes the trilogy of its director composed by ‘Verano 1993’ and ‘Alcarràs’.Read More »
