En la Otra Isla

As brazilian and big fan of Eduardo Coutinho, for me it's impossible not to compare it with his works. It's just beautiful how trasparent Gómez is with her filmmaking, organizing it genuinely as a fiction narrative so she can have more freedom with the material -- chapters, stills of every character before the end credits, not to mention she's very present in the mise-en-scène, not only making questions, but directing scenes and outright telling us some of her choices. And what a gallery of interviewees, like the worker who dreams to star in an opera production. We get to see common people having plenty of room and time and a welcoming ambient, created by Gómez with her presence/camera, to provide truly engaging and lucid remarks on culture, art, social issues -- former priest and his theory about the 'need of violence' -- and revolution, of course.
