The post Paz Vega – Rita (2024) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Quote:
Sex and Lucía, not surprisingly, boasts ample doses of both sex and Lucía, but its rather straightforward title doesn’t begin to intimate what a simultaneously confounding and enticing experience the film really is. Julio Medem’s sumptuous, smoldering, and ultimately confusing fable begins in the middle, with Lucía (the fiery Paz Vega) fleeing her home after thinking her novelist boyfriend Lorenzo (Tristán Ulloa) has killed himself. The film’s first half jumps back and forth between the past and present, cross-cutting between the couple’s passionate first steps together (shot graphically, but not lewdly) and Lucía’s self-imposed exile on a mysterious island off the coast of Spain that Lorenzo spoke of reverently but refused to visit with her. The island, it turns out, is a land mass magically floating in the water, untethered to the sea bottom below, and seems to cast an amorous spell on its inhabitants. Years earlier, Lorenzo had a one-night stand with a stranger (Najwa Nimri) while visiting the island on his birthday, and it is revealed that his water-logged tryst resulted in a daughter. Struck by this sudden revelation, Lorenzo begins surreptitiously visiting the child, and the film, like the island at the heart of its tale, becomes unmoored. Hyper-sexual nannies, porn star mothers, well-endowed hunks, and a severely untrained dog come together to toss both Lorenzo and Lucía’s worlds upside down. Characters float in and out of both Lorenzo and Lucía’s lives and fantasies, and chance encounters and coincidences conspire to bring these loosely-related people together toward some greater revelation. What that might be, however, is never satisfactorily answered. Medem’s storytelling skills are significantly more jumbled and rudimentary than his gift for widescreen photography (buoyed by digital video that casts every outdoor scene in beautifully blooming white light) and knack for conveying the rapture of uninhibited lovemaking, and the film ends up being more entrancing mood piece than coherent narrative. As an exploration of the ways in which people’s responsibilities to each other are hopelessly intertwined with the responsibilities they have to themselves, Sex and Lucía winds up making very little logical sense. As a randy film about sexy people in gorgeous places being pushed and pulled (literally and figuratively) by desire, however, it makes for an arousing good time.

As adapted from the roman by Antonia Arslan and co-directed by legendary Italian brothers Paolo and Vittorio Taviani, The Lark Farm marks one of the few international features to tackle the Armenian genocide head-on. The story (with its thematic parallels, in the early scenes, to De Sica’s 1970 Garden of the Finzi-Continis) concerns the Avakian clan. An Armenian family living an affluent lifestyle and periodically shuttling back and forth between their two comfortable homes, the Avakians feel convinced that the rising tide of Turkish hostility on the horizon means little to them and will scarcely affect their day to day. Indeed, The Avakians ignore the warning signs, and set about preparing for a family reunion with the impending visit of two well-to-do sons – landowner Aram, who resides in Turkey, and Assadour, a physician living in Venice. Lo and behold, these illusions come crashing down when a Turkish military regiment crops up at the house, annihilates every male member of the family and forces the ladies to trek off into the Syrian desert, where they will be left to rot. Meanwhile, a handsome Turkish officer (Alessandro Preziosi) falls for Aram’s daughter and makes an aggressive attempt to deliver her and her family from certain death, even as the circumstances surrounding him attest to the astounding difficulty of this goal.

The post Paolo Taviani & Vittorio Taviani – La Masseria Delle Allodole AKA The Lark Farm (2007) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

A war photographer on assignment in Kurdistan is traumatized by the death of his best friend. He is then nursed back to health by his girlfriend’s grandfather, who may or may not be a notorious war criminal from the Spanish Civil War.

Quote:
When I looked up a bit of information on Triage after watching it, I was genuinely surprised to discover that it’s not a true story. I suppose it’s the touch of an actual war correspondent that gives it that real life cache, as the author of the novel it’s based upon is a veteran in that arena. While it had a degree of Hollywood polish and shine, it felt tremendously possible, which made it easy to relate to as a viewer, despite my having spent the entirety of my own life lazy and safe and nowhere near anything approximating war.

Going into the film, I thought it would be about experiences in the field, and despite its necessary but slow start, I was pleasantly surprised when the focus turned instead to the psychology of survivors, and the idea of forgiveness in the wake of tragedy. It added a depth to a film that otherwise would have gotten lost amongst the many others in the genre.

I tend to forget what a fantastically talented actor Colin Farrell is until I see him in action again. He has an ease with his characters that I particularly appreciate, and I was glad that he didn’t push this one over the top, because it would have been all too easy to do. This hearkens back to the directing, and while overall Triage wasn’t a standout in that aspect, I think that Danis Tanovic did a commendable job restraining a subject matter that is often overdone and exaggerated.
