Armas, passionate love letters and
is no doubt that the life of the great playwright Lope de Vega Madrid is exciting although little is known about it. The "Phoenix of the mills and freak of nature" led a life almost as passionate as the characters in his works and his amorous adventures could not be absent for long from the big screen.
Yet today undertake the project of a period film without much action and few commercial licenses requires an excess of courage on the basis of the riskiness of the company and little prospect of a hypothetical mass audience. To have certain guarantees, this time it has had a stellar cast and its once-promising and the presence of a Brazilian director no longer surprise given its limited experience of film in our country. So we are risky elements on one side and the other safe bets for a challenging film, hard battle.
The result seems at least interesting. Anything that should be asked this kind of films and meets note (setting, costume, music, classic drama) must be added contemporary air acquires the film without losing any aroma classic novel time. No doubt the writers Jordi Gasull, Ignacio del Moral and Juan Vicente Riuve have had much to do with it, and have achieved a fluid language, and readily identifiable with the sixteenth century without forgetting the necessary and intimate connection and accurate dialogue that must exist between characters and audience. An original and radiant common point is evident in several scenes of the film. The passion of love as the main mechanism in which to move the windmill blades launches to the sound of the time he has lived, and differs very little from later periods. Neither the viewer little bookish be disappointed with the adventure, not the greatest admirer of Lope de Vega was embarrassed with film projection. Balance wise and clever.
The Brazilian director Andrucha Waddington has wisely taken advantage of everything he has put in his hand, and as if it were a romantic canvas to nuance and fluidity combined with strokes to achieve all quite acceptable and at times very plausible.
No interpretation shine too much, not even the protagonist Alberto Ammann ("partner" of the recent Malamadre "Cell 211") which enters so meritorious in the skin of Lope de Vega leaving a pair of solemn scenes worth mentioning. Nor Leonor Watling and Pilar López de Ayala get the majesty of the past, but generally all provide the safety, soundness and more necessary to get a show believable characters and humanitarian trait necessary to avoid ever losing the intensity of the narrative. A missed Luis Tosar and unwise written character Miguel Angel Muñoz outstanding lines closed a deal quite acceptable and supported by the strength that always provide excellent Juan Diego. Drama
tinged romantic period of some interest. Weapons, and letters love united under the leadership of a great writer. The gift of speech in the service of fans and admirers.
Lope, in the flesh, to the delight of anyone who wants to bring a chapter of his life.
