Dallas Buyers Club (2013)
Good story and phenomenal performances
Dallas Buyer Club is so far, the best role Mathew McConaughey has ever performed but not only that, it is also a tribute to those pioneers who fought the AIDS in the late eighties and a fierce criticism to the American health system, where sometimes it seems that industry regulators set everybody's interest aside, in favor of a small group of companies. The movie leans on the terrific performances of Jared Leto and Mathew McConaughey, the transsexual and the taught bull rider, two antagonist characters who can't stick together in the beginning but eventually, they end up forming a solid duo. The metamorphosis suffered by Ron Woodroof as AIDS pops in his life is not only physical, sickness also transforms his mentality to make a leader of himself on behalf of fair regulations for medicines and chemicals. Thus, eventually one ends up with the feeling that Ron was not simply a bull rider, alcoholic and homophobic but one of the best examples of the critical mass in the US
The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)
The Wolf of the Excess
Sometimes, more is not necessarily better. This is one of those. The Wolf of Wall Street draws and shows the evil side of stock markets from different angles, but in the end, it turns out excessive. The picture some people had in their minds, about those stock brokers throwing money to the wind and blowing cocaine, resulted insignificant. This plot could have been better fit in 100 minutes. Yet , the actors perform very well, especially Di Caprio, who seems to have been born for this kind of scripts where the lead role has to walk the line between two sides, the fake world, made of lies and miseries, and real one.
Castillos de cartón (2009)
Faithfully recreated from the book
Marcos, Jaime and Jose build up a particular relationship in their lives. The story about three painters and friends is going to be the excuse the director focuses on to tell something about personal affairs, friendship and how love can be shared. As part of it, painting will be the connecting thread so that the three main characters express their fears, frustrations and ambitions. The rhythm is slow, sometimes seems slow motion, though it is offset by an intimate closeness with the characters, to whom the spectator almost knows at the end. Also the music and interior shots make the film cozier and suitable to describe in a particular way the world of art in the eighties/nineties in Spain. If you are expecting a masterpiece, won't find, but will discover three personal stories that seem to be only one.
