About Her (2020)
A beautiful Unique Film
The film is set in an apartment in Cairo, set in the past, the film shows a high level of cinematography and art-direction telling the stages that the main character, Durrya, a widow going through hallucinations and battling her own demons in the closed apartment.
The film visually interprets the stages of mental deterioration that Durrya numbly goes through. With minimal dialogue, Durrya's struggle to come to terms with her loss and pregnancy is depicted through the fresh first time actors and remarkable art direction.
Love in the Time of Cholera (2007)
A Pleasure to watch
I loved the film and it triggered in me a lot of emotions. The book is definitely more resourceful but it is only fair to evaluate the film separately. The acting and the directing were exceptional.The work done by Mike Newell kept the sense of humor of Gabriel García Márquez alive. They never stop surprising you with the events and the sense of humor when you don't see it coming. The portrayal of the second part of the film is remarkable and very inspiring in showing the couple's love in old age.The film captured the spirit of Márquez's style in a romantic yet tragic love story with the sort of relief only Márquez is capable of nesting and which was understood and was beautifully portrayed by the sense of Mike Newell.It was a pleasure to watch.
