Lust and politics
1 March 2006
"Ashes from Paradise" is a great, passionate movie, partly a murder mystery and partly a complex drama about lust and politics. It's refreshing to see a film with a crisply written script, sharply drawn characters and the depth. The director, Mr.Pineyro chose an exceptional cast of brave,talented actors. There are two murders in first few minutes of the movie and it would be so easy to stop at a straight police procedure. But the director goes much further. He tells us a story about power and corruption, about obsession and innocence, about loss and heartbreak. And much,much more. Acting is exceptional, raw and passionate.Great movie from Argentina.
