NOCHE PASADO
The closing night of the festival was quite enjoyable for Lillian and me. We saw two films: "Palmer ha Muerte," Puerto Rico 1952, an amusing film noir crime drama with: the walking dead, Cine Metro, UPR Theater, the Condado and more than a couple of Rambler Americans. Our final film of the festival was "Un Dia en El Bulli" Ferran Adria's self produced look inside his world-famous restaurant in Spain. Having dreamed of going there, this was the next best thing. Or better, except for the inability to taste the food we were watching. As is usually the case the film was a bit over-the-top in terms of heroic music, sunsets, etc. but Adria and his brother Albert, who directed the film, have a sense of humor about themselves and their project. The film is a testament to the ability of "anyone" to make a film using digital technology. I would say however that "Joel esta Imposible" and the Brazilian film "Los Famosos y los Duendes de la Muerte" are true testaments of the ability of talented filmmakers to employ digital technologies to make superior quality films on a very low budget. It is the birth of a new "cinema novo" maybe "cinenuevo" for the 21st century.
