Made in Catalonia
Film Festival opening night:
The Best Of Me (CTC)
Original version in Spanish
with English subtitles
Friday October 22 – 7pm
|
Casal (Catalan Centre of Victoria) present the MADE IN CATALONIA FILM FESTIVAL 2010 (MiCFF). The Festival promotes the extraordinary lively film culture of Catalonia, Spain. Opening night celebrations feature a screening of The Best Of Me (Lo Mejor de Mi). The film is the story of Raquel who cannot understand why everyone talks constantly about love: on the radio and TV, in films and songs. Then Raquel meets Tomàs, and has to ask herself what she would be prepared to do for love. In a beautiful exercise of narrative honesty supported by a risk-taking script, THE BEST OF ME glows with a stunning performance by actress Marian Álvarez. This first work by Catalan director Roser Aguilar demonstrates her use of minimalism as a guiding principle. More details at www.ccvictoria.cat. |
