Girl, Interrupted
When the extraordinary composer, conductor and pianist Ludwig van Beethoven German trifle composed for piano solo "For Elisa "was dedicated to a great love. In composition we find the intense passion that emerges, but also find light touch melancholy that may well have a broad and controversial meanings. When the credits start of this film starting with this piece, as well as enjoy its beauty, you can also appreciate certain nuances sad. Nuances throughout the film will take on its full meaning and that fit perfectly with a difficult history, bitter and with few loopholes to search for answers.
Shot in Catalan, "Elisa K" the first thing to note is its unique narrative approach. With a continuous voiceover (reminiscent at times to "Amelie" but in a different tone) beautiful black and white drawings (first part) and careful direction of actors complexion denotes strict dramatic, the film runs from the start on a level of false simplicity that allows an austere follow that far from boring maintains a constant interest thanks to a simple but effective devices. The narration does not bother, accompanying a story in a precise moment acquires the tone needed to develop with the intensity it deserves, and looking for alternatives and variations to a sad story that struggles with an emphasis on finding a way redemptive salvation necessary.
Elisa is an innocent and shy girl of eleven years. Your life will be marked by a particular event will not occur until fourteen years later, when he tells his mother by phone: "Help me, I just remembered a horrible thing."
All good tone that seems to show the movie from the beginning and throughout that part in black and white seems to be diluted when making color screen and the characters have matured. So while the story continues with the same interest we have the feeling of having lost a little bit of magic that captivated us in the beginning.
Still, "Elisa K" finishes running. Finally a movie is meant as more than acceptable, original and at times leave us with a strange sense of sadness that allow room for leisurely reflection and inert contemplation of both the event and the social context and family in general. Film
take into account that shows a film without complex side, with few commercial licenses and finding a balance between formal beauty and complex history. The task is not simple, and very few filmmakers (with Haneke's masterpiece "The White Ribbon" no doubt) are successful. "Elisa K" stays at the door by several factors, pro leaves a pleasant feeling of good movies and best intentions.
