Febrer (2004)
Past and present.
A strange atmosphere to tell the story of an obsessed and never ending love. Life and death, past and present are mixed in this metaphorical picture. Sela committed suicide and Lars, her ex-lover,tries to find out why, discovering things and feelings about her he didn't know. An interesting movie about pain and lost. Claustrophobic set decorations help us to understand the state of mind of the characters. Specially interesting the flooding scene at Sela's home. Most of the people ask themselves what does it means? I think it means Lars' tears, or even Lars' desperation: his soul is drowning. Good direction by Sílvia Quer and good performances of Laura Conejero and Mercerdes Sampietro.
Sin ti (2006)
A different vision of blindness
"Sin ti" explains the incredible journey of a middle class woman into an universe of darkness, although the most important journey she does is inside her soul. She becomes blind after a domestic accident and as a results she must rebuild her own life and the life of her family. It's a movie about the light, not about the darkness. It's a metaphorical tale about our lives too. All of us are not able to see the most important things in life because of our selfishness, our desires and our fears. In that case, we all are blind people. Lucía, the main character of this story, finds out light and wisdom, and she is able to see things she couldn't see before. An interesting paradox. Ana Fernández' acting, as Lucía, is good, so is newcomer actress Carolina Pfaffenbauer. Raimon Masllorens, the director, knows how to take us into the deepest of our feelings.
