DA 6: Journal of accredited rookie learned to the cat. Day 6

In Spain there are a number of film festivals overwhelming. If have a settled life or work for some means of communication to provide board and lodging may well spend all the year flowing through the country attending a few events were scheduled film (a utopia as a cathedral in which to me are concerned) . We have them of all kinds, devoted to English cinema, the neighborhood, the classic, action the Latin American ... so it is worthy of applause any hint of originality that we find in some of these contests, and Wednesday the Film Festival d'Author pleasantly surprised us with a novelty which has to take note. An advance of the vote that the public has been left at the exit of each projection. We have our hands on a general classification which already peeping films which can be winners when the first edition ends on Sunday. For now the film most likely to win the audience award is Little Lies minor (2010), a film that opened the festival and it seems to have penetrated deep into the retina of the spectators, with a note 3'89 on 5. A short distance lies the Germano-Hungarian drama Biblioteque Pascal, the which we refer in this newspaper, with a score of 3.7 out of five. In third place, with the Catalan stands 3'6 Blog, which is a surprise because we are talking about a film and commercial career has had on our billboards, and not until the fourth we did not find the first Asian film received by those attending, and how could it be otherwise is Takeshi Kitano who has achieved this honor, with 3.43 points, Outrage although there is still a new pass, so that with a little luck could become the coat that will rise with the Award. If a recount in the coming days we will inform you, it seems that there will be excitement until the last minute.

Today we enjoyed the visit of the director Mia Hansen-Love presenting emotional and disarming The father of my children (2009), which we discussed earlier this days. The film was a Special Jury Prize in Un Certain Regard section at Cannes 2009. Mia is a young director who became known as an actress in Late August, Early September of Olivier Assayas , which debuted as a director in 2007 All is Forgiven. Apart this rewarding event, the public also had the opportunity to attend the second screening of the Russian Wild Field, or opt for the Romanian film marathon Aurora of Cristian Puiu.

My short day today started at six p.m. to support the patriotic documentary. Mary and I not exactly a film for very first time, because it takes more than a year of travel hoarding several awards at festivals such as Tarragona Rec and even has been released on DVD, but if anyone still has not been opportunity to see this portrait of a realistic and concise sensitive issue such as autism to know that you're missing a great job. This is a short work, tinged with a sense of humor man, fruit of the funny situations that are created when a person with this disease must be understood in one way or another with the world around him. It is also a delicate, flawless narration by Félix Fernández de Castro, who tiptoes through the lives of artist Miguel Gallardo and his daughter Maria, introducing entomologist with attitude in daily life full of responsibility and generosity (the patience with which the father confronts his daughter's autism makes you real hair like hooks). As surprising is how Mary's parents assume, from an unusual rationale, the problems of his daughter with a firmness and resignation positive then allows you to build consistent and effective assistance.

Recovery chronic now Biblioteque Pascal, film I had the opportunity to see on Monday and I had not yet referred. This is one of the most radical and bizarre of the Festival. I left the cinema so perplexed, not knowing if you pull towards Spain or University Square Plaza. Imagine that you catch the most characteristic features of the films of Federico Fellini , David Lynch and Michael Gondry and meteis in a blender adding the cocktail a few drops of Ken Loach and Emir Kusturica . For that and much more is Biblioteque Pascal, a true alucinaje is not without social criticism. A woman tries to get his daughter and this should be put before the court for guardianship of the reasons that led her to leave her. From this reality and fiction merge into each frame to give way to such diverse topics as the mistreatment of women and prostitution, voyeurism, perversion, the need for vanishing points at the brutality ... all decorated with an aesthetic beautiful and daring at once. It is worth noting for blending originality and intellectual concepts such as sex education, because in the brothel in which the protagonist works every room is a representation of a famous work of literature. So prostitutes dress of Joan of Arc, Desdemona, and even Pinocchio Lolita (sic) to meet the depravity of their customers. The movie is worth it, but unfortunately (and hopefully wrong) are not going to see released in English cinemas in life. From here I throw a challenge to distributors bravest to dare to buy a film that represented Hungary in the last edition of the Oscars and received rave reviews at the Berlin Film Festival.

Today

would not dismiss the newspaper without congratulating Casa Asia in general and in particular CineAsia the good news of the birth of Asia House Film Week, an event to be held in early June and comes to pick up the baton left by the late lamented orphan BAFF. Eastern cinema lovers are in luck, and now I'm going to pimple a couple of drinks of sake to celebrate.

Bona nit!
