Between love and revolution
psychoEC1 April 2016
Based on a book of the same name, this movie depicts the life of a young writer during the 60's in Ecuador. He gets lost between the characters of the love story he is writing and his real life as a militant of a leftist movement.
This is maybe one of the only two movies from Ecuador which I would recommend to watch (the other one is "Ratas, Ratones, y Rateros"). The photography along with the story are excellent and the performances are acceptable. Unfortunately, as most of the Ecuadorian movies, it can been really (and sometimes just) appreciated for somebody from Ecuador. Apart from the fact that a previous read of the book may be required in order to fully understand the plot of the movie.
"Entre Marx y una mujer desnuda" is a movie worthy to watch specially if you want to watch a good Ecuadorian movie.

Subtle, moving drama

Warning: Spoilers
***Spoiler alert: minor plot details follow.*** Though the story deals with political activists in Ecuador, a country riven by ferocious class polarization and savaged by IMF neoliberalism, this is a film which transcends partisan politics. Ultimately, this is a film about dreams: why they're born, what it takes to nourish them, and what is lost when they sometimes die. The screenplay follows a loose band of artistic and political dissidents, as they rebel against the rigid cultural and political orthodoxies of 1980s Ecuador, and try to invent a new kind of democracy in the face of looming military repression -- a democracy of roses as well as bread. We see a rich panorama of Ecuadoran society, ranging from the heart of the capital city to the rural Indian communities of the hinterlands. The crisp dialogue avoids preaching, while the images luxuriate in the storied legacy of Latin American magic realism (and, yes, Karl Marx gets a cameo!). If Subcommandante Marcos had been a film director, he would've created a film like this.
