Natalia Natalia
(2022)
|
Denise Pieniazek
|
The film Natalia Natalia marks the return of Juan Bautista Stagnaro (Casas de fuego, La furia, El amateur) to cinema. On this occasion the writer and director presents us with a police officer, who transgresses some norms of the traditional genre.

Top Gun: Maverick
(2022)
|
Denise Pieniazek

It is generally said that the second parts are not good, however, Top Gun Maverick is fortunately an exception to this rule, it is even considered that in terms of the level of action and intrigue it may even be superior...

Justice League
(2017)
|
Denise Pieniazek
|
It must be recognized that the film knows how to alternate between emotion, action and comedy because we expected is entertainment. In that point is superior to its prequel Batman Vs. Superman . However, it does not add anything new...

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
(2016)
|
Denise Pieniazek
|
Consequently, even if the script or the original idea is not his own, Burton always imposes his imprint on the story. The film immerses us in the mystery from the beginning with its monsters that mix the aesthetics of classic science fiction cinema...

Finding Dory
(2016)
|
Denise Pieniazek
|
Finding Dory is a film full of fun but also very emotional moments, for both children and adults. Like Free Willy (1993), the film is in favor of the release of animals in captivity under the motto “rescue, rehabilitation and liberation.”

Alice Through the Looking Glass
(2016)
|
Denise Pieniazek
|
Assuming that the literary work is only a starting point for inspiration, as happens here (the story completely deviates from the theme of the book of the same name), the narrative remains halfway without being entertaining enough, much less profound.

Captain America: Civil War
(2016)
|
Denise Pieniazek
|
The battles have few moments of lucidity compared to other Marvel films, since it seems that there lies the conflict of this new comics universe: achieving the balance between fights and words. Maybe they should take more time to develop the scripts...

The Revenant
(2015)
|
Denise Pieniazek
|
The Revenant exposes the cruelest of humanity and its revenge, regardless of culture or origin. In terms of the anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss, we must ask ourselves in the film, who represents “civilization” and who represents “barbarism”?

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2

However, although it far surpasses Mockingjay – Part 1, it is not better than the rest of the films in the saga, since among other things its ending is somewhat predictable. Despite this, a positive aspect...

My Friend From the Park
(2015)
|
Denise Pieniazek
|
In that union between mothers who break the rules and normatives, she will find balance. In the words of yhe director it is defined as “a worrying comedy” with a “domestic suspense.” Ana Katz does not judge, she understands these dissident mothers.

Southpaw
(2015)
|
Denise Pieniazek
|
Southpaw uses the world of boxing as an excuse to talk about different adversities in life, especially around emotional ties. Therefore each fight and each blow contains a meaning in itself, and with each of them the boxer will give a part of his life.

Loving Vincent
(2017)
|
Denise Pieniazek
|
Loving Vincent invites us to observe his images as if they were paintings in motion or tableaux vivants through an extraordinary work of realization. It achieves Van Gogh's objective by touch others through his art, placing us in constant contemplation.

Two Is a Family
(2016)
|
Denise Pieniazek
|
Consequently, it can be thought that the film has a script that begins in an attractive and dizzying way, which continues in a somewhat twisted manner, falling into a series of trite resources, to finally produce emotion in the audience.

Lion
(2016)
|
Denise Pieniazek
|
The story of the film begins in 1986, and some time later, after several events, an indian boy is adopted by an Australian couple. From here it is inevitable not to establish a point of contact with the 2005 film "Va, vis et deviens".

Permitidos
(2016)
|
Denise Pieniazek
|
"Permitidos" can be considered a postmodern screwball comedy. It is about the crisis of a young couple, Camila and Mateo, where social networks will play a fundamental role, evidencing the relevance that they have gained in daily life.

My King
(2015)
|

|
Although it is not the first time that the disagreements between a heterosexual couple are captured on screen, Mon Roi's approach is original, it shows how simplicity can still surprise, as well as the twists and turns of life.

Dancing Arabs

In most of Eran Riklis' works, the Middle East conflict is present along with religious and cultural differences, as is the case of Dancing Arabs, which heartbreakingly exposes the complexity of said confrontation.

Pan
(2015)
|
Denise Pieniazek
|
It is a transposition of the play "Peter Pan, the boy who did not want to grow up" (1904). The originality of this interpretation lies in its prequel character, introducing us the origin of Peter Pan and his arrival to the land of Neverland".

The latest film directed by Roman Polanski, Venus in Fur, is the fifth transposition of the novel The Venus of Furs (1870) in which a vision of the novel is presented that completely redefines it.
