‘The fury’: a rape, extra viscera of the account and an awesome Ángela Cervantes | Culture | EUROtoday

“Of all the creatures that have mind and soul there is no more miserable species than that of women.” The well-known phrase from the Medea de Euripides marks the extraordinary tear with which actress Ángela Cervantes performs Alex, an aspiring actress who’s raped by an acquaintance throughout an finish of the 12 months social gathering. To anger It is, too actually, a visceral movie by which the misunderstanding of animals – consciously, of two wild boars – is a part of the intimate exorcism carried out by its protagonist. As fascinating as extreme, the movie is sustained because of the nice appearing work of Cervantes.

The foremost success of its director, Gemma Blasco, is the choice to soften in black your complete sequence of the violation, which solely the sounds of the aggression come to us. Blasco turns the darkness of the viewer into that of the protagonist herself, misplaced to a tunnel of guilt, silence and ache. That darkness can also be a forceful response to all these movies which might be checked in a cheat within the aesthetics of violation and abuse, making an attempt to justify their violence as a type of criticism. Nothing is additional. It is, to know us, the distinction between the shortage of visible ethics of Gaspar Noah within the express Irreversible With the rules of a instructor like Theo Angelopoulos within the bleak Landscape within the fog. Another discovering of To anger It is the way in which by which Alex’s character discovers who attacked her and, to a lesser extent, the egocentric obsession of her brother, performed by àlex monner, with revenge from the rapist.

To anger He connects with the earlier Blasco function movie, The zooand along with his quick movie JAURÍA. Both titles, launched in 2018, are related to this new function movie by means of the fraternal bond as an virtually animal factor (JAURÍA) and with the theater (The zoo) as a spot of experimentation between particular person and character. Interestingly, one other of this week’s premieres, the American Ghostlight, Explore a father’s duel by means of the Shakesperian tragedy of Romeo and Julieta. It is a really completely different emotional journey, however with sure parallels: Blasco chooses the parable of Medea as a theatrical car to intestine the female trauma of its protagonist.

In entrance of his successes, To anger sins of an extra that finally ends up the viewer. Fixing with blood and viscera has an irregular narrative sense, with some pointless bleeding metaphors. In all the beginning of the movie, that of the social gathering, the blood of menstruation is a component that seeks – and will get discomfort with one thing as frequent as a used támpax, whose presence and drip of liquids summarizes the violence of aggression. The searching and misunderstanding of the wild boar is introduced as a ceremony of repetitive household initiation that doesn’t have simply defined one thing that’s not resolved and that additionally impacts the sister-brother relationship: the absence of the daddy determine.

And To anger He holds his extreme depth is because of the supply of his actress, who composes a damaged character immersed in fixed time jumps. Cervantes – who received the perfect actress award with Miriam Garlo, protagonist of Sordaon the current Malaga Film Festival – he already demonstrated his abilities in movies equivalent to The maternal, of Pilar Palomero. Here it presents an interpretation as tense and contained within the essential as assaulted on the floor. Tender and impetuous, Cervantes could be very bodily in his emotional maze. The well-known monologue of Medea or the ultimate sequence in entrance of the dressing room of the dressing room are the climax of a really tough work that confirms his expertise.
