FORT LAUDERDALE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
The Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival is one of the most important cultural activities in South Florida. It includes films from all overt the world and events for the entire family.
Last Thursday, we went to see The Guide to Recognizing Your Saints. It is a movie based on the book by Dito Montiel of the same name; he is also the director. It is a memoir of his life in Queens, NY.
Friday was the official opening night. They showed Volver of Pedro Almodóvar. I do not need to tell you that it was excellent, and, of course, it did not lack the bizarre twist that characterizes all of his movies. By now, I am so used to it that nothing from his movies shocks me anymore.
Today I saw The Architect (Isabella Rosellini and Anthony LaPaglia). It is about the sadness that is present deep inside all of us. What I liked the most is that the director tried to show this feeling independently of the external circumstances that may cause it.
I will not give you more details about the movies. I do not want to ruin the endings for you. One thing I can tell you is that all of them moved me. In my opinion, that is what differentiates a good movie from a bad one.
