Francisca Gavilán plays the Chilean singer-songwriter Violeta Parra in 'Violeta se fue a los cielos'.
'Violeta went to heaven' is the biopic that tells the story of the Chilean singer-songwriter Violeta Parra. The film, directed by Andrés Wood, has a script by Eliseo Altunaga, Rodrigo Bazaes, Guilermo Calderón and Wood himself, who have been given life by the artistic cast, led by: Francisca Gavilán (Violeta Parra), Thomas Durand (Gilbert) , Christian Quevedo (Nicanor Parra), Gabriela Aguilera (Hilda Parra) and Roberto Farías (Luis Arce), among others.
The script is a free adaptation of the book by Ángel Parra (son of Violeta Parra), and it is not 100% faithful to it, since It shows us different moments in the life of Violeta Parra. Thus, throughout 'Violeta went to heaven', we know from the province of Ñuble (Chile), communist Poland, his work in the Louvre Museum (France), among other places, which were witnesses of life of the singer-songwriter.
'Violet went to heaven' therefore walks through the most significant moments of Violeta Parra, from his beginnings with his sister at a fair to his international success in Paris ... And along the way, Wood (The good life, Football stories ...) is also teaching us who were the men who marked the life of Parra, her father, her husband, her last lover ...
The film again shows that Chilean co-productions Lately they have a lot to say, and that is that the country's film industry is working more and more to offer us better products. In this case, the film is endorsed by its candidacy for the Oscar in a foreign language and by the box office obtained in Chile. But in addition, there are many critics who have praised the work of Wood, one of the most promising and well-established directors in the Ibero-American country, and that of Francisca Gavilán, who shows in 'Violeta went to heaven', that the same thing irons you an egg, that she fries you a tie.
The film assembles a fantastic puzzle through characters and places and engages you throughout its entire footage to make you participate and feel what Parra herself felt throughout her life, her passionate and multifaceted career. Without a doubt, a nice tribute, that It shines almost as much as the singer-songwriter Violeta Parra did. Interesting.
