The visual language is so broad that sometimes surprises. The touches of their creators are so characteristic that it is possible to identify a difference as a Van Gogh Dali. In the case of "Between the Walls", the director executes a work fiction so real that when frightened by the unknown - and not being able to see - the border between screen and reality. With a leisurely pace, without haste and absence of incidental music, the film places the camera as a sort of Rear Window that allows the viewer an accomplice of the French educational system around the marginal classes.

The word "suburb" is defined as the area located on the outskirts of the city, inhabited by poor especially. It is in this area develops the film, focusing on integrity in a public school led by teachers who can endure the unendurable. The story at the edge of the documentary, shows how day teachers and students to-day struggle to get ahead from each of the human vision. On the one hand, adults move with the sole purpose of teaching and make that grain of sand can change the lives of children, and the other youth are not even aware of what they live, are concerned with trivia by be and feel completely outside the system.

For there can be no critics to express their dissatisfaction with the lighting and so weary that becomes the argument, however this does not overshadow or in the least the tremendous development, greatly executed both for its technical team as art. Laurent Cantet, director of "Human Resources" (1999), through images, does not allow the clock to lift the audience despite the extensive scenes and the delicate mix of deployed locations. On the other hand, the actors are abstracted from the camera so that this seems to be a window that allows the viewer to appreciate, as well as each of their gestures, their innermost emotions. The cast is of a quality to cheer up, where the casting was made with precise detail, taking young people who by their very presence showed what they were in their role. François

Bégaudeau, author of the book of the same name on which the movie and main character of "Between the Walls" creates an atmosphere ideal to feel the plight of the "marginalized" in France and worldwide. The constant struggle is motivated by the empty gesture of hope, collapsing both for those who have the desire to emerge as to who help to bring them up. This vicious circle is to be destroyed and so we propose the tape. She just turns on the light we see, to observe the irrational, to understand that this can not happen anymore. You can not allow circumstances diverted to those with more trouble to a hopeless way, and every day it becomes more normal for them. The tools we have and only should apply. Why so late? Can we allow another child to tell us immeasurable fear has not learned anything for a whole year? The movies are for this too. Not only must we entertain, but also must be able to wake up to the neurons of the audience and take advantage of this huge media called "movies."

"The Nana"
Director: Sebastián Silva
Writer: Sebastian Silva and Pedro Peirano
Cast: Catalina Saavedra, Claudia Celedon, Alejandro Goic, Andrea García-Huidobro, Chile
Mariana Loyola , 2009

Two years ago I refused to perform critical Sebastian Silva's first feature entitled "Life Kills Me" (2007), because my sister was on a small role in that film that could lead to a some objective commentary. But now I can not abolish this critical second feature where Catalina Saavedra Silva stars in one of the best roles played in a Chilean band. A little over a month, I saw the tape in its avant premiere, and since then I have been overwhelmed by the representation of the female lead. That's why I have time to write this review, since the settling time is the best of ideas that might exist. And, of course! Catherine is my sister.

There have always been films that bear the seal of quality almost exclusively by the work of its leading actor. This is the case of "Awakenings" (1990) Robert De Niro without not be what it is, or "Perfume de Mujer" (1992) that no one would remember Al Pacino. Many other works are saved by the actor or actress protagonist due to a notable role has been recorded in the history of cinema, let alone the rest of the edges that make up an important film as it is the argument itself.

"The Maid" is one of those movies, where Catalina Saavedra attacks with all his talent to impress the audience with a paper loaded with drama and intrigue, hinting at the harsh reality that thousands of live housekeeper the planet. While the film takes place in a wealthy Chilean house, this does not stop showing beyond the borders of your plot will not be pigeonholed in a home-court advantage, but very on the contrary it is possible to extrapolate to different geographies of the globe.

The film tells a story written by Sebastián Silva and Pedro Peirano, creators of "Life Kills Me," which contains a touch of drama and comedy just for the balance of a specific argument and without unnecessary wandering, supporting the praise he has received in areas as diverse as USA, Switzerland, Australia, Mexico and Colombia. While this could become monotonous at times, the same monotony is what Rachel's character feels about their daily lives which allows viewers to live the same feeling. The story is accurate, very well run along the line argument, on all sides than the first work of Silva in the air that you could see the operator innovatory, but even then was not well polished.

International critics have praised "The Nana" . has been one of the most honored films in cinema history Chile. For the first time, Chile has been recognized by one of the world's major festivals such as Sundance . Catalina Saavedra has been honored as the festival has presented and recently The NY Times has devoted a special note . However, this has not been enough for Chile's proposed as a letter to represent it in the next edition of the Oscars. What went wrong? I think it would be nice if someone could clarify this muddle of proportion as this country is losing the opportunity of its bicentennial.

Yoshi Oida: Make "theater"

"When two actors are really acting together (not just the text saying to each other) the public may feel that "something" happens between them. This "something" is not emotion or psychology. Is more basic. For example, when you reach and touch someone's hand is a simple action. May not have any history or psychological reason, or emotion behind the gesture, but emerges a fundamental and genuine exchange between two people. It is difficult to find the words to DESCRIBES exactly what has been exchanged. Perhaps we could call it "physical sensation" or "fundamental human energy." Whatever you call it, the actors must engage in this exchange process to create "theater." For more deftly explaining things through the words of the text, without this essential exchange, the "theater" does not happen. Each actor must strive to find and retain this level of contact, and when it arises, the full text comes alive. "
