The depressing story of three brothers plagued by a painful illness : schizophrenia, they aere the following ones : Candela Peña as Coral
Alberto San Juan as Martín and Cristina Marcos as Gracia , all pf them attempt, each in his or her own way, to fight off the curse they have inherited . Their sick father's (Celso Bugallo) genetic legacy, which they have schlepped around their entire lives, is exacerbated by the strict and moralistic upbringing they received from their mother (Geraldine Chaplin) . The imminent death of their father will unite them to face their inner fears .
A new production of this film couple : Dunia Ayaso , Felix Sabroso that shows the personal imbalances of a family that lead to an internal war of each of their members . A provoking film that gives a deep portrayal of a misfit family with weird characters ,dramatic incicidents and tragic results . It has some attractive and careful dialogues by exhibiting an environment of moral misery in which the chracters live , resulting in showing a deep loneliness on the main roles performed by three siblings and their parents . However , being an extremey stagy and claustrophobic pic due to everything takes place inside an apartment , school , Gran Canaria airport , hospitals and the exception for some enjoyable vistas from Las Palmas De Gran Canaria, Las Palmas, Spain . Well written and directed by Fernando León de Aranoa , it seems to be brought to the big screen like a stage play at times , and performed by several of the the best actors in Spanish cinema , providing competent performances . Here there's a deep analysis of the family institution , including envy , furtive loves , dark interests , illness and adultery . In La isla interior(2009) , words , gestures and interpretations take total prominence delivering the necessary goods , both entertain enough and bore , as well. It is particularly enjoyed when we approach the gestures , close-ups, and voices of the stunning cast . As here shows up notorious actors giving nice interpretation , such as Cristina Marcos , Alberto San Juan , Candela Peña , Geraldine Chaplin , Celso Bugallo and bried interpretations from Vicente Ayala , Paola Bontempi Paola Bontemp and Antonio de la Torre .
