Review of Coronación

Coronación (2000)
9/10
Beautifully filmed, wonderfully acted.
4 January 2004
It's quite unusual to find in small countries like Chile brilliant films like this one. As the story goes by we get involved with the decadence of the main characters, starting with the traumas and repressions of the leading man, Andres Avalos (wonderfully portrayed by Chilean actor Julio Jung). By the end of the movie we are totally into the feeling of "things that aren't worth fighting for" that flows throughout it.

The acting is absolutely remarkable, all of the main actors give the necessary depth, innocence, respect, frustration and a pretty wide range of emotions that are impressive.

Technically it's a very beautiful movie. Its cinematography is a faithful portrait of the decadence and solitude of the characters. It's adapted from a novel with a script that recreates the spirit of the book in every shot.

This is an unknown little piece of art, and I recommend it highly.
