BEATS (2001) Juan Avellan




Beats is a short film written and directed by Juan Avellan, accredited the same as Juan Manuel Martinez, a fellow clerk wants What Coppola: Film Blog and faithful friend in and out of the blogosphere. It was produced for ten years but it reflected one of the many situations constitute the daily life of this terrible we all know and economic crisis calls himself.

Applying For our country, Juan Avellan shows the daily life of any family of lower middle class. Unemployment, frustration, education and social security are issues that we envision in the 11 minutes of footage. From a cinematic point of view are references to the universe Almodóvar, so that a housewife ironing at night is a direct homage to that character actor of What have I done to deserve this? (1984, P. Almodovar) played by Carmen Maura. And the phone which is expected to sound desperate for a heart operation needed by the parent seems derived from Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (1988). References inevitable in every filmmaker and artist in general, not one iota tarnish its own discourse, that of a young filmmaker with clear ideas about what you want to tell: a review wildly toward Social Security. And extrapolating the question beyond the English borders, oblivion of the system towards the disadvantaged.

The film is conducted with great realism. Looking at austere locations precisely because the social status of the characters, showing great knowledge of the speech that the Italian neorealist movement endorsed, which sought to show the plight of the most miserable, forgotten by an unjust system. The picture helps to get into that environment with the help of actors, although they may have been at times a more accurate interpretations.

Dominador cinematic language he knows to squeeze the maximum achieved Avellán planes that are touched by a wisdom which is especially noticeable in the composition of them, looking just move from simplicity. Example of this is the final sequence, where the phone rings at last, but it's too late. The heartbeat of the protagonist, who already showed signs of exhaustion, no longer palpable and sound proof that there is a human life and give way to silence indicates death. The bureaucracy, represented in the short film by the doctor, has struck a more anonymous. "Bleak? Yes, but more realistic ... what can I say ... Not in a newscast.
