In so doing, the title unnecessarily objectionable, and sells a wrong idea of \u200b\u200bthe film. "Chicha your mother does not cry or seek to knock out anyone: this is a film that" rare thing in our film, seeks simply to accompany their characters for some time. Knowing a little better. Refreshing indeed find a domestic film like this that does not meet your plot lines or give explanations, and when finished frees his characters to follow viviendo.He said "national film" and now someone has frowned. Well, as I do for all practical purposes "Chicha your mother is a Peruvian film. It is true that this is a production Argentina-which basically disqualify the film to represent our country at some festival, for example-but it is also true that most actors are Peruvian and the story takes place in Peru. In one of many that exist Perus, in any case: Lima ... (A few months ago we discussed the same topic, when someone wanted to sell "my brother's wife" as a national film, when all Peruvian who was there was telling Christian Meier Manolo Cardona something as earthy as "fucking little painter" in I dislike any case was not the issue of nationality of the film, anecdotal at best-thing but it was a product mamarrachento.) Me "Chicha tu mother liked me. There is something about her that makes her, in my view, much more Peruvian Peruvian several films: the transparent, authentic choledad. I mean the film does not give a single false note in its setting: this film has captured, perhaps the first time, the landscape Lima-chicha-combi-truck, without falling into the disfuerzo, his characters are cholos but not here scenic postcards and that's something completely new in our country.
Look: Jesus Aranda has left Tula Rodriguez in the door of his home after an appointment. She lowers the car, starts to walk away and then he will spread the word. And when she turns to see he is wearing a stuffed bunny as a puppet, to make him goodbye ... This scene, in the hands of another director, could have sought the laughter of the audience. But Gianfranco Quatrinni believes so strongly in his characters that lets them be, allow a gesture of affection like this, few people who do not qualify for huachafo or cholo-appears naturally within the story. That is beautiful. And in the film there are several examples of this lack of impost, this naturally. Is that the film does not even make an issue of choledad: is immersed in it. That seems reason enough to recomendarla.Hay thing is certain, however: the fact that a film is more or less chola not do better nor worse. But in a country disintegrated, racist like ours, go to the movies should also be an opportunity to look at ourselves and, hopefully, accept. Although television has long been the medium that provides our paradigms, the ease with which a film is being transformed into an event makes a powerful film yet. In my view, "Chicha Your Mother" has achieved what many others have sought Peruvian films almost always awkwardly: generating identification. And though the film resorts to the well-worn formula known characters Calata to no greater facilismo there. In fact, as I mentioned at the beginning of this review, the drama of "Chicha your mother" is rather modest-no-climax scenes and that is closer to the so-called New Argentine Cinema of the cinematic tradition of Peru. Need to know if this option pay off at the box office or not. Readers know
apologize if I have spoken little to the story: basically, throughout the film we follow the daily life of a taxi driver, Jesus Aranda, truly remarkable, which is fond of tarot, soccer and brothels. His daughter has become pregnant. His marriage Nothing more. This driver will begin to relate emotionally with a prostitute-Tula Rodríguez, who within the constraints of the debut knows give dignity to his role, and the way we will know a few other characters: an Argentine doctor who takes sick Peruvians to Buenos Aires to heal at half price , the leader of a football club involved in a fraud. As noted, the spirit of the film is to accompany the characters in their daily lives and in the process, know a little more. There's something about a film where the only time someone drops a tear is to see on television, a show about how horses are born mar.Es inevitable reference to the proceedings: there a very even, both from the Peruvian and the Argentinean cast. It happens that often co-productions must include a fee of foreign actors, several of our films have English actors (Lucia Jimenez, Fele Martínez, Pilar Bardem, Fernando Cayo) but almost always these raids have felt forced. In "Chicha Your Mother" this does not happen, which is appreciated. Of the players I would like to highlight Peruvian Jorge Rodríguez Paz, in my opinion the best performance in this film ... And for those who are waiting to talk about the sex scenes: indeed take a few minutes and, in fact, are filmed with some tinkering. Promote Karen to leave as one of the main characters, on the other hand, can only be understood as a marketing strategy. No meat, yes, but at the behest of the story, much less than you probably imagine the public. Chicha
your mother "is a good film, with occasional setbacks, a narrative voice completely dispensable, certain scenes that change capriciously registration, some jump cuts! safe product of the limitations of running a quality-but in my opinion far surpasses its flaws: honesty. My favorite scene is one in which our taxi driver has been invited to dinner at our prostitute, and for the first time the two are together outside environment they have related so far. There is a moment Tula Rodríguez Aranda Jesus smiles and her smile is a nervous tic: it is, in my opinion, a flavored instant truth. Not all films are able eso.Lo which means that the work of direction behind this film was very good. "Chicha your mother", with its highly saturated magenta and green (which, paradoxically, could refer to a filmmaker like Wong Kar-wai) is a recommended film of modest pleasures, and a promising foray into the film Gianfranco Quattrini. We expect more.
ps: Two notes that I left loose. Apparently the underground junction oval Higuereta is an interesting location for scenes in order: Joshua already used it Mendez in "Days of Santiago". How delightful, on the other hand, to check how the picture of a movie shapes the reality. "Chicha your mother" has a light summer evening, but at night the fog is obviously winter.
