Quote:
Maria Conchita Alonso at her very Best
pj_malone24 August 2005

This movie would have got nowhere without Maria Conchita Alonso’s performance, the powerful plot and shocking end is really a work of art. It is commented that Maria Conchita Alonso wanted to buy the rights for the movie but the rights owner didn’t want to. Whatever happened this movie has not been released in English language, and a great performance from Maria Conchita, can’t be seen yet. The movie shows the ordeals that some people from Colombia went thru, to get to stay in Venezuela, Maria Conchita plays a high society woman obsessed with her lover. The movie shows a very rare often edited scene, where Maria Conchita Alonso gets raped in a Ladies bathroom. Dark very powerful, raw and controversial, this is one of Maria Conchita Alonso’s greatest performances, a must see.

The post Mauricio Walerstein – Con el corazón en la mano (1988) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Plot Summary
The film opens through the telescope lens of one of the city’s many colorful outcasts, as he watches a truck arriving carrying mattresses. We meet La Garza, the proprietor of The Smoking Fish nightclub and brothel and her current lover Dimas. Dimas, exuberant and yet full of suppressed dissatisfaction, is at his peak. We see him jubilant at the arrival of the fresh beds for the prostitutes and proud as he watches children celebrating round the burning pyres of old mattresses. But the ritual is tense and uneasy, foreshadowing the community’s easy embrace of substitutes.

Three men, in sequence, compete for La Garza’s favors and, thereby, control of The Smoking Fish: Tobias, Dimas and Jairo. Tobias, now weak and paranoid rots in jail following machinations by Dimas that took place previous to the film’s opening. As the film settles in Jairo, a young and naive drifter, sets his own sights on the The Smoking Fish and befriends Dimas. He arrives at the brothel without a dime and begs for a job. La Garza and her man of the moment give him a chance, and once inside the business, he win their confidence.

Jairo soon learns how to play the game and begins to undermine Dimas and take control for himself. Dimas is ousted and arrested, but he breaks out of jail and returns to assassinate Jairo, only to accidentally kill La Garza instead. Dimas finds himself next to Tobias, the man he once played the same dirty trick on while Jairo assumes absolute control of the brothel, establishing his favorite prostitute, Selva Maria, as the new madam.

The post Román Chalbaud – El pez que fuma AKA The Smoking Fish (1977) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

In this film, Venezuelan director Diego Risquéz has focused on the life of South America’s famed libertador, Simón Bolívar. He explores the episodes in Bolívar’s life and tragic death by using images alone (no dialogue), a technique that makes his subject matter quite abstruse. Only viewers already familiar with the legend of the man and the early history of Venezuela will recognize many of the symbols and the storyline. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

The post Diego Rísquez – Bolívar, sinfonía tropikal (1979) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

The current wave of kidnappings in Latin America inspired this tense suspense drama. Martin (Jean Paul Leroux) and Carla (Mía Maestro) are a wealthy young couple who, after a night of club hopping, head back to their car to go home. However, three kidnappers — Bubu (Pedro Perez), Niga (Carlos Madera), and Trece (Carlos Julio Molina) — are waiting for them; seeing how free they are with their money, the men figure that Martin and Carla should fetch a decent ransom for their release. The kidnappers demand 20,000 dollars to set Martin and Carla free, and Carla’s father (Rubén Blades) struggles to raise the cash, with the criminals insisting upon payment in a mere two hours.

The post Lorenzo Vigas – La caja aka The Box (2021) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Well into middle-age, but still grasping at the reckless pleasures of his youth, Roque is locked in a pattern of self-destruction. His parents cast him out from their home in Caracas and Roque returns to the Amazon and the derelict tourist lodge he built and ran in a previous life. His aim is to rebuild both the lodge and himself, quitting alcohol for good in the process. But temptations are strong in the jungle. A feverish voyage of discovery through the hinterland between madness and salvation, La Fortaleza is a superb second feature from Venezuelan director Jorge Thielen Armand. What makes it all the more fascinating is the fact that Roque is played by Armand’s own father, Jorge Roque Thielen, and that the screenplay is inspired by his stories of building the lodge and battling alcoholism against a tinderbox backdrop of sparking violence and unrest.
