La edad del sol (1999)
Making profit of a popular singer while she is popular.
A bore. What perhaps takes this movie a step beyond plainly awful is the beautiful Andean landscapes and some spontaneity from some teenage actors. The title "Edad del Sol" is a play on words upon "Soledad", the name of the popular folklore singer that stars the movie. Just a call for her fans to pour more money into the producers pocket, I guess.
Kikujirô no natsu (1999)
Wonderful tender movie
I would describe this movie as wonderfully balanced and tender. It express this tenderness without excluding the violent harsh side of life. It is a comedy, yet it also is deeply inspiring. Special effects are used in few delicate strokes, and not abused. Many myths are torn down, and other myths are offered. It is a road movie, a faery tale, and it has got some bloody fights too! After watching it, I was left in that deep tender reflective mood that takes so long to wear off.
