A Boyfriend for Yasmina

A Boyfriend for Yasmina brings a fresh wind to the hot and boring undercard of this long summer of 2008 . This is a realistic comedy of character criticism made a low budget, supplemented with lots of imagination. The address is provided by Irene Cardona , and this movie is his real debut, apart from making some shorts (any type documentary) very interesting and rewarded.

is no coincidence that the movie reminded Solas of Zambrano Perhaps the movie about women who Almodóvar film and would have liked to sign. The director has a solid audiovisual crowned with some studies in Cuban film school in San Antonio de los Baños, from whence we came Benito Zambrano. This form of film, realistic and committed, seems to be a hallmark of that school, and welcome these two films is evaluated, as A Boyfriend for Yasmina may well be the "single" of immigration. This way of filming, and that way of writing the scripts, who needs to learn that the Cuban film school gives great importance to the development of the script, and hence these excellent results, true deli for good tastes of the verb and the construction of stories.

In my view, four aspects highlighted in the film: the atmosphere (with photo), performance, music and script. For those who know the reality of immigration setting, whether in the north of Cáceres, Badajoz in Las Vegas in Los Monegros, in El Ejido, in Huelva strawberry or Lleida, the selected field (adjoining streets the field in Montijo and Puebla de la Calzada) follow just such a reality, waterways, gardens, whitewashed streets, social unrest, distrust between all the good work of the registered office of immigrant assistance, etc.

The performances are also more than significant, given the limited experience of much of the casting. Nevertheless, fictionality is assured a dramatic, presumably in large part thanks to the excellent leadership of actors . True, some stand out as the star, one more than solvent Sanaa Alaoui and José Luis García Pérez, without forgetting Maria Luisa Borruel. But all, without exception, are more than correct. I also emphasize the excellent painting of the characters with few strokes, the brother of the protagonist's family, police and, above all, José Luis García Pérez, who builds a character that we all recognize, that of the young intellectual suffered from higher education, anti by definition, loose clothing, good people, wino, beggar and unrealistic .

The music is perfectly gathered at the film, from some Arab tones sounding main melody in various moments of the film, which helps create a tone of light comedy to which it is not at all.

Among the big hits, I'm finally with the script, which corresponds to the director, and Irene Cardona Nuria Villazán . What to say. The dialogues are superb. Agile, clever, popular, realistic. Van to the point and, from time to time, make lapidary sparks here and there. It is therefore a wonderful letter of these two writers who, with a perceptible feminine look, radiographed an uncomfortable reality and manage to present it in a thin capsule best comic to pass through the throat.

A look nice? I think not. Gone are Bwana or Marriage of convenience. This film should be placed alongside other world Flowers of Bollaín Icíar (1999). In A Boyfriend for Yasmina , the protagonist, as admitted by some characters, not a paragon of goodness. What is very clear. No doubt when it decides to give love if you do not meet their objectives. Her new husband is not interested at all as it looks downright lazy. Conflicts between solvency immigrants are described, including their suspicion and distrust between them. Criticism of the work of the councils is significant, and the exposure of a school event in which no sides are taken.

I think the film also presents a wonderful educational opportunity to be shown first and then didactically exploited in secondary schools, parents' associations, language schools, workshops, ethnic festivals, etc.. In short, a more remarkable debut for the director of Extremadura. Congratulations to her and the entire production team.

Greetings.
