Mi hermano del alma (1994)
Toni and Charli, two very different brothers...
The first scenes are set in some deserted beach along the east coast of Spain, perhaps in the late 70's, early 80's. Toni, the not-so-well-behaved brother is left abandoned there by his brother Charli and Toni's girlfriend Julia. Ten years later, Charli is a successful insurance salesman, and he´s married to Julia. They never heard from Toni, until one day, by chance, they come across each other. Toni is as wild as ever, an aged delinquent, who will later find out he's got a terminal leukemia. Thats when Charli tries to give his brother's life some purpose, and to make up for lost time. The leit-motiv of this movie is the dicotomy good/evil between the two brothers. Charlie, the hard worker whose soul was long lost to his company's commercial objectives. Toni's conscience works in strange ways, allowing him to save an old man's life but also to steal his wallet. Although it's not a masterpiece, it's a well worth watching movie, especially for the actors performances and for the beautiful sets in the spanish "Costa Brava".
In Your Dreams (1996)
A well-directed short tv movie, about date rape
What differs between a man and a woman's view on something they share? Well, it seems that everything. As someone once said, there are at least three truths: mine, yours, and the real one. This movie is about a college date rape, and guides you inside the characters minds, listening to their most private thoughts and ideas. Clare is a friend of Jamie's sister. She has had a crush on him since childhood. Finally, in college, they get to go out. And the story goes on, portraying the difference between each side, the evolution of their ideas during that one evening, and even displaying the feeling of everyone around the two main characters. "In Your Dreams" is a very-well built movie that should make you think.
Gente del Po (1947)
Beautiful photography, a real classic
I've seen this movie some years ago, and I remember that it had the most beautiful photography. Antonioni chose to film real-life persons, instead of casting professional actors. Documentary-like, but still fictional, it tells the story not only of the people, but also of the River Po, in Italy.
