Sonata de otoño: Homenaje personal a Ingmar Bergman

European Films, Reviews

Hoy se cumplen ocho años de la muerte de uno de mis directores favoritos: Ingmar Bergman. Mi admiración por Bergman me llevó a presentar el año pasado para mi asignatura de Historia del cine moderno un trabajo sobre el reflejo del interior de Bergman en su película Sonata de otoño que, a día de hoy, también se ha convertido en una de mis obras predilectas y probablemente mi interpretación preferida de Ingrid Bergman (a la que amo y admiro muchísimo). Es por esto que para conmemorar un día como hoy, me gustaría hablar brevemente (dado que el tema da para un trabajo entero o incluso un libro) de la vertiente teatral de Sonata de otoño, película que, de hecho, ha sido adaptada para la escena teatral en numerosas ocasiones.

Happy Birthday Helen Mirren!

European Films, Hollywood Cinema Reviews, Reviews, Stars

It takes me so long to write anything right now (cause I was working and now I’m on holiday basically doing nothing all day) every time I publish anything has become such a special occasion. And today really is a special occasion because it’s my second favourite actress (and idol)’s birthday. Well, in case you haven’t read the title of this entry it’s Helen Mirren’s 70th birthday: HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE, SHE IS JUST SO PRETTY AND YOUNG SHE CAN’T POSSIBLY BE 70 (and the fact she’s the face of L’Oréal sort of proves she is still incredibly young). Anyway, I think it’s the 3rd entry I write about (something related to) Helen Mirren (the other two being a review on The Queen and another review on Love Ranch), so today’s article has to be different…because really, it’s Helen’s birthday and she deserves a great entry…

My Favourite Meryl Streep Performances

Hollywood Cinema Reviews, Reviews, Stars

Some days ago (actually quite a few days ago), June 22nd, was Meryl Streep’s birthday- who happens to be HER ROYAL HIGHNESS MAJESTIC QUEEN OF EVERYTHING Meryl Streep or simply the love of my life, Meryl Streep. Anyway, I was planning to publish this entry that same day but due to schedule conflicts I haven’t been able to post it until now, so here is it, after quite a long long long time without publishing anything (basically a month, I promise it won’t happen again). Actually, after thinking about it (and about the fact I haven’t published anything in sooooo long), this entry is sort of my own birthday present (cause it really was my birthday on July 4th) because I guess there’s nothing I’d rather talk about than Meryl.
