Women In Leotards Thong




Madeinusa

two days ago I had the opportunity to see the Peruvian film Madeinusa the fifth Discovering Latin America Film Festival in London.

Claudia Llosa, director and writer, tells the story of Madeinusa (Magali Solar), a 14 year old girl who lives in a small village in the highlands of Ancash, daughter of Don Cayo, the mayor of the town. Madeinusa is bright and attractive and this will cause more problems. As we approach the celebration of Good Friday, Salvador (Carlos de la Torre), a young geologist from Lima will come wrapped in the celebration of this strange people who put aside their intense religiosity during the days of "holy time" to give free loose to their wishes, where everything is allowed, then accept that God is dead and there is no sin. Interestingly, the writer's point, imagine pcs. days without sin, what would be the first thing they?

The end is spectacular as a short story by Juan Rulfo, it should be emphasized that the script won the Coral Award for best original screenplay, in Havana, Cuba.

At the end of the projection appears Carlos de la Torre, has an American accent and a beard
actor Chuck Norris karate. We note that studies showing since a year ago in London. People want to know if Peru, he replied that his mother is Peruvian, the public is a young woman from Cusco who is outraged by the way that portrayed the Andean village, feels that there is a hint of racism in the script and that fool the audience falsifying reality. She is small, brown face and the Andes. The scene reminds me of the divisions of class, race, language and culture in my country and it saddens me a bit.

Although some Andean characters of the film are somewhat "caricature," it is not a documentary but rather a story, and I believe the license is broad in terms of fiction.

Carlos says he would have preferred that it is Claudia Llosa, it is surely better than answering questions that he, but Charles has not done badly. Grab the microphone as if it were a metal rock singer, not an independent film actor, this pose makes me think that probably belongs in Peru Miraflores. He also tells us that the actress who plays Claudia Llosa Madeinusa found selling the candles at the door of a church in the city of Ayacucho.

I really had fun enough, I was glued to the plot from beginning to end and hope to see more of this young talent named Claudia Llosa.
