Ellas: Independent Women | We all want the best for her
Great title for a great movie. After a splendid debut with Tres dies amb la familia (Three Days with the Family, 2009), the second film by the Catalan filmmaker Mar Coll confirms her as one of the most interesting figures in Spanish audiovisual. The film tells the story of Geni, a woman who recovers after a serious car accident that almost cost her life and has left obvious physical sequelae and other psychic intuition, and about her way of facing her life or Maybe to get the life she wants now.
With this second work, Coll lays the foundations of his own reflexive style of studied dialogues and very subtle, in which he suggests much more than what is said, and it is the viewer who must complete the narration. Coll, who continues to explore dysfunctional family relationships through female characters with the ambiguous universe of the Catalan bourgeoisie as a stage, builds a solid work without artifice, with an excellent direction of actors and great interpretations full of nuances like that of the brilliant Nora Navas.

Gran tĂtulo para una gran pelĂcula. DespuĂŠs de un esplĂŠndido debut con Tres dies amb la famĂlia (Tres dĂas con la familia, 2009), la segunda pelĂcula de la realizadora catalana Mar Coll la confirma como una de las figuras mĂĄs interesantes del audiovisual espaĂąol. La pelĂcula cuenta la historia de Geni, una mujer que se recupera tras un grave accidente de coche que casi le cuesta la vida y que le ha dejado secuelas fĂsicas obvias y otras psĂquicas que se intuyen, y sobre su manera de enfrentarse a su vida o quizĂĄ a conseguir la vida que ella quiere ahora.
Con esta segunda obra, Coll sienta las bases de un estilo propio, reflexivo, de diĂĄlogos estudiados y muy sutil, en el que se sugiere mucho mĂĄs de lo que se dice, y es el espectador quien debe completar la narraciĂłn. Coll, que continua explorando las relaciones familiares disfuncionales a travĂŠs de personajes femeninos con el universo ambiguo de la burguesĂa catalana como escenario, construye una obra sĂłlida sin artificios, con una excelente direcciĂłn de actores y grandes interpretaciones llenas de matices como la de la brillante Nora Navas.
