Macbeth (2011)
Shakespeare in Paraguay?
While director considers it as the first adaptation of a Shakespeare play in audiovisual, theater, already had made adaptations of his works. What most stands out in this film, it is the fact with the scant resources available to it. The narrative voice, replacing dialogs and almost no recreation of actions, they took maybe dynamism, but on the other hand, the use of photo montages gave some originality. A good summary of the work, very suitable for literature classes and for approximation of the works of the Bard of Avon. The music, as in all the works of Horace Ojeda Lacognata, helps create climate and environment situations. You can say it's a mature version of his other work: Haile Selassie I: The Rise and Decline of Lion of Judah. Perhaps, in the near future and already over budget and technology, we could see the literature immortal works made into films in this small country, which is Paraguay.
Haile Selassie I: Apogeo y Ocaso del León de Judá (2007)
Between history and myth
A good short film about a character virtually unknown in our country. While many young people do not know who this person really was, others just know him for his role as Rastafarian icon. In fact, many criticisms that were made to this material is made from the point of view Rastafarian. The approach to the figure of the Emperor, far from god or messiah figure helps to understand more about the history of Ethiopia and especially the struggle of a people to maintain their independence. Paraguay, had a similar story when it was invaded by three countries in the late nineteenth century and in both cases, lived an unjust war and ruthless. Maybe have more recreation and less photographs, but at the same time, this helps us get closer to the historical figure. For a first job was very well done, although not immune to their defects, which serve as a sign to keep improving in successive years.
