Review: All the songs are about me
The Consequences of Love
Personal relationships in general and those of couples in particular is a fairly recurrent theme in English cinema. In a way it works, and in some ways because it has done with success in most cases. The precedents are countless references almost endless. In this case we are dealing with the debut of the son of Fernando Trueba, Jonas Trueba. And for his first film, we are faced with a work certainly remarkable. Modern in outlook, and classical in its approach, but with this point of personality that allows us to differentiate the work of the author, any other work of the plenty.
A couple who just put an end to their relationship is the starting point from where the story will move through different billing parameters, with the only common point of leaving to develop characters who are shipwrecked on the threat of cyclone despair and can survive as the specter of nostalgia.
In the cinema we find so many young Trueba film and musical references, all bathed in a heady soundtrack to contemporary. It is difficult to feel the echo of the best Truffau (Jules and Jim) on many sequences in the film and recognize the undeniable debt to the English filmmaker maintains the wonderful Novelle Vague and their influences. In this way the story unfolds smoothly, in many cases with a certain target bit, and sometimes with brilliant sequences bill allows us to recognize the personality of an author with talent and take into account in the future.
Madrid will be the essential and distinctive framework in which the characters will travel emblematic streets, interesting cafes and bars with charm, giving the city an important and prominent role, and getting the best out of it and most significant. Beside her, the music acquires its corresponding importance, and songs from Christina Rosenvinge, Nacho Vegas or music Perico Compose a soundtrack Sambeat dynamic, modern and independent fit perfectly with the climate of dissatisfaction and hopelessness in which the characters move. Even the sensual "Song to fuck" Aroah, is perfectly fitted without losing an iota of agreement at any time.
The two main characters are responsable for the correct Oriol Villa ("Salvador") and a very interesting Bárbara Lennie, that if they convinced us on the uneven "The thirteen roses" in this film is the easy checks and develops character with ease and considerable success. Around these two move side which provide the subtle comedy that the film contains a fair and rewarding as highlighting the discovery of a Bergonzini Bruno simply unusual.
Trueba In Jonah is also, as we said before, an important literary influence in every way enriches the film, both in dialogue and in attitudes. We are in this sense that "Ignorance" by Milan Kundera, or "Notes from all over" by Carmen Martin Gaite acquire an important role, as well as the poetry of Pessoa Pizarnik or become prominent poetic voices in either sense.
All this makes "All the songs are about me ', far from looking like a simple generational drama of manners, a drama is concerned with substance, in many original items and a personal touch and meritorious that make a small a small flash movie that stays in memory.
