La buena vida (1996)
teen story at the unknown side of Madrid
David Trueba discovered Lucía Jiménez and Fernando Ramallo in 1996. Now these actors have achieved a well known reputation.
This is the tender story of a boy that, after loosing his parents in a trip to Paris, is forced to became a man while he discovers his first love (Lucía).
You'll find out how it is the rural side of Spain's biggest metropoli. The suburbs, a french school, the friends from child...
Other characters are also very well personified, especially the grandfather, sprawling some humor in a sad story.
Amores perros (2000)
Great!
"Amores perros" is different. The "opera prima" of its director has shown a very good job making this movie which took two years of work.
The performance of actors is really good, more than that, it's awesome!
You'll really feel involved in a tragic story and suffer with the characters as you see their aims destroyed, thus is a hard realistic movie, far away from those sweet Hollywood happy-ending movies, but very tender relating the dogs (original name: amores perros) with human suffering and contradictorious soul.
There are three stories which are not mixed at all: a poor guy who has felt in love with his brother's young wife, a mexican top model at the top has a romance with a man who leaves his family for her, and an ex communist professional murder who kills for money.
Really good!
Perdita Durango (1997)
The best movie of Javier Bardem as Romeo Dolorosa
As I said, Javier Bardem, nominated for best actor in the 2001 oscars, makes an awesome performance in this film. Romeo Dolorosa, a hard man, born in Little Caribe, and acting in the underground scene along Mexico-US border.
Alex de la Iglesia, very well known by Spaniards and latin american public, makes his best in this movie, fascinated with a violence, real based history. The movie is well done: it has nothing to envy to hollywood..
Such a very good movie!
