Paula Ortiz brings us closer to the universe of Lorca with the film 'The bride', adaptation of 'Blood Wedding'.
Without pretending too much, the film has become one of the sensations of the national cinema this year and in one of the great favorites of the Goya Awards of the next edition.
And it is that the film only seeks to be a great tribute, and in fact it succeeds, to one of the most important authors in our country And he does it with a very Spanish film, despite being shot in part outside of our country. 'The Bride' was filmed in Los Monegros, Zaragoza, and in Turkish Capadoccia.
'The bride' manages to narrate us a history of the most international, based on two universal themes such as passion and death, and do it with a touch of the most Spanish thanks to the verses of Lorca himself. But precisely the fidelity of the adaptation and the formality of the film works against him in some moments, especially in the final section.
Spectacular performances that yes, especially those of its two protagonists, Inma Cuesta as the bride y Luisa Gavasa as the groom's mother, two actresses that we are sure to see nominated for the Goya this year.
