By Mónica Delgado

Unlike other Dardenne brothers’ films, Marion Cotillard’s charácter becomes the essential piece, the engine, the soul, the life of Two Days, One Night. If in their previous films all the characters articulate themselves in a sort of social micro cosmos, here the variation is different.

CANNES 2014: MAÏDAN DE SERGEI LOZNITSA

Por Mónica Delgado

Filmar la inmediatez de la revolución, desde su aspecto noticioso pero sin serlo, porque ante todo el director ucraniano Sergei Loznitsa parece estar en esa suerte de territorio comanche, donde la mística por el acto de registrar queda en evidencia en las dos horas y media de metraje de Maïdan.

By Mónica Delgado

Lisandro Alonso has taken to a new level that old invention of the land of treasures and unimaginable happiness, the torture of conquistadores and travelers, whose myth was part of the Spanish “romancero” of the XVII century, and that under the influence of the daydream becomes something more than a desired country of Jauja.
