Blue Jasmine (2013)
Typical Woodie Allen relationship's mash of great plot and performance
Cate Blanchet is just amazingly confident (quite paradoxical to the nature of the movie) playing this role. She deserves an Oscar, no doubt whatsoever. The plot is the typical Woodie Allen relationship's mash with the common decay of the social nature but a very classy way of living that same decay. Centered on a woman that reveals her emotional and psychological fragility after a succession of events that tend to deliver the true self of our family niches, social and financial groups and what actually is value for money and value for feelings.
It could be a Sunday TV movie if it wasn't a Woodie Allen one, but Cate Blanchet, oh my dear lord, deserves an Oscar for her performance. Woodie always manages to get the best of his star ladies!
Bruna Surfistinha (2011)
No time is lost when Deborah Seco decides to undress
"Bruna" Marcus Baldini - As if we need excuses to waste almost a couple of hours watching Deborah Seco undressing and doing it like it's hot! The story captivated me for being based on real facts that I personally didn't know. I found it interesting only because of a certain verbal gymnastics that keeps me laughing in the lexicon of the Brazilian Portuguese and the lightness in which the most serious subjects can be portrayed by Brazilian directors, sometimes even in an ethereal fashion. But this movie is worth only for the scenes with Deborah Seco, just because the emotional dimension of it is sometimes lost and one never gets to understand what leads the main character to taking such a shaky turn, one does not understand what kind of analysis is made and for trying to tell a story sometimes the film gets so close to wanting to tell too much without showing great substance. I give it a 7 out of 10, almost pulling in a 6, but our friend Deborah Seco saved the movie (although at the beginning of the movie she acting very stuck up and out of character, perhaps because they wanted her to go through an age that simply is nor hers any more).
