But before analyzing what has given himself this time let me talk a little bit of repoker of Asian directors who have had the privilege of being the first to present their works in this Festival. A Chinese, a Korean, a Thai and two Japanese make up this diverse and eclectic bunch of Asian filmmakers have delighted the respectable with a fresh look and overall complete and incorruptible. Wang Quan'an belongs to the so-called Sixth Generation of Chinese cinema, also known as the urban generation, which also includes such big names as Jia Zhangke or Wang Xiaoshuai. In our country we know it Wedding Tuya (2006), this beautiful story that was set in Mongolia the interior in which a woman with a disabled husband agreed to marry another man under the condition that it deal with both. Apart us now Toguether , a story in which addresses the problem of exiles from China to Taiwan in the 30 who could not return home until fifty years later. For its part, Hong Sang-soo is a director who is supported by the recent award in the Un Certain Regard section of Cannes Film Festival for his film got Hahaha, although most scholars in Asian cinema and it had since a few years ago as the author of reference, with titles as valued as Woman on the Beach , 2006 or Night and Day, 2008. Very recently edited Intermediate a chest with some of his key films: an essential selection by the Catalan director Albert Serra , who is also responsible for introducing Oki's Movie in this Festival. Aditya Assarat has been a real discovery for me, having no references to his film before seeing Hi-So, film that has garnered rave reviews in its passage through the D'A. Assarat had been recognized previously by Wonderful Town, which won including the award for best film at the Pusan \u200b\u200bFilm Festival 2007 and was already in the trauma and emotional wounds that were the Thai people after the disastrous tsunami occurred in 2004. And if the director of Bangkok I was a complete unknown until now, I can not say the same for the two most applause Japanese filmmakers per square meter have collected these days, and both Sion Sono as Takeshi Kitano two authentic teachers, that even the author category they would be very short. Attend a screening of their films is still quite an experience ESP. His film is an uncompromising film, brutal, ruthless when required, although his works are recognizable also humorous that such leaks are true mark of the house. While we wait forward to a new office project Kitano, Sono already got down to work and just finished their penultimate production, Guilty of Romance has already begun to roll Himizu . We hope to see one of these two titles (but two) in both the Festival of Sitges as in the Festival de Cinema d'Author.

And if Morgen foreign relations is no less shocking and unusual is the attachment between the two protagonists of the Russian How I Ended this Summer. Input production filmed in the impossible scenario of a polar station situated on a deserted island in the middle of the Arctic Ocean, two hours, and with only two characters were a premise too heavy at this stage of the festival. But the awards made in the last Berlin Film Festival, where reconciliation is the work of two solo performers shared the Best Actor Award encouraged me to venture, and since then I have not left disappointed for nothing. Perhaps the footage is a bit much, and some turn a script into the final stretch of the film may seem a bit forced, but it certainly is a set so original and entertaining. Sergei, the experienced meteorologist, and Pavel, a recent college graduate, is the will and desire with the vagaries of nature and of man himself to survive in a frozen hell. There are several scenes that are seared into the viewer's retina, as one in which a hungry polar bear tries to put away the poor Pavel, or that one in which imagining the pain and frustration you will feel your older partner when it's a tragic story, the same Pavel is trying by all means extend the confession of the bad news. It is a film of silences and heroes who are dormant waiting to act. One of the best proposals of the Festival, it would not surprise me when the bell rings to announce the final winner of the public.
By the way, has again announced a partial classification of the votes of the audience. On this occasion, the most important developments is the surprise second place Mary and I, the English film which is the subject of autism, and the third position of Argentina Man Next Door another film pairs impossible. After two days of the end, the thing seems to be more acute than ever, but for now the French leadership Small Lies without seems incontestable importance.
Bona nit!
