SECRETS OF THE HEART GENUINE R2 DVD CARMELO GOMEZ CHARO LOPEZ VGC
14 September 2021
BEAUTIFUL BASQUE FILM ABOUT CHILDHOOD FEARS & ADULT SECRETS.
This is a review of the 2004 Region 2 DVD from Metrodome. It plays in Spanish, with English subtitles. We had an issue with the original disc, which was apparently new, but appeared to be a DVD pirated off a video copy. It was purchased from one of Amazon’s smaller independent sellers. A subsequent copy appears more satisfactory. There are several excellent Spanish-language films which focus on children, their questions, their fears and their internal battles. Erice’s ‘The Spirit of the Beehive’(1973) is often cited as the high watermark in this field, but Bayona’s ‘The Orphanage’(2007), and del Toro’s ‘The Devil’s Backbone’ (2001) and ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’(2006) are all powerful and highly regarded films. These 3 last films also have more or less of a horror, supernatural or fantasy element. This film, made in 1997, predates, and in some senses prefigures, the 3 films from the 2000s, in that it too touches on topics including ghosts, death and dark secrets. The other common aspect of all these films, is that they are set during the Franco era, when Spain was governed by a ruthless Fascist dictator, or during the bloody Civil War that put him in power. This film is set over a period of months in the early 1960s. Montxo Armendariz, the Basque writer and director of this film, does not pursue quite the same path as del Toro, in particular. This is no horror film; it is thoughtful, intelligent and much more gentle. It considers the way children's imaginations can get carried away if they become aware of fragmentary bits of the truth, just some of the facts, parts of conversations overheard and imperfectly interpreted. And if the child is bright and curious, his family riven with secrets, the effect is magnified. This is the case in this film. Nine year-old Andoni Erburu gives an astoundingly accomplished and beguiling performance as the ever-inquisitive Javi. Javi is the younger son of a widow, played with great sensitivity by Sílvia Munt. But this is a film blessed with a number of rich and memorable performances. Javi’s older brother, 13 year-old Juan, is played by the talented Álvaro Nagore as far more knowing and ~ studiedly ~ worldly-wise. This was his only film performance, as tragically he died in an accident the year after the film was made. Charo López is brilliant as kind and lonely Aunt Maria, regularly assuaging her pain with one too many glasses of wine, and then given to singing. And Vicky Peña gives a touching and powerful performance as the stern and embittered Aunt Rosa. Armendariz’s film also looks very handsome. Set around Pamplona in the Basque country, the scenes set in town and country are nicely complimentary, and the school play, that we see periodically throughout the film, is a treat. The script is clever, sometimes funny, and often very touching and sensitive. This is a warm and insightful film, with a strong message and real heart. A delight!
Striking Distance (Blu-ray) (US IMPORT)

BIG, BOLD & ASSERTIVE: BRUCE WILLIS TAKES ON MORE BADDIES.
This is a review of the 1993 crime action thriller, ‘Striking Distance’. We watched it on the 2010 All Region Blu-ray from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment (with the ‘M’ designation on the cover). It plays in 1.85:1 Widescreen, HD 1080p, and True HD 5.1 audio. It looks and sounds very good. There are no extras. Good old Bruce Willis! He has been blown up, tied up, shot at, kicked, punched, and generally targeted, in so many films. His miraculous survival through five episodes of ‘Die Hard’ escapades, between 1988 and 2013, is his most famous assignment, but there have been plenty of others. This film is not amongst his better-known, in a meaty list of titles, stretching back to the romantic comedy ‘Blind Date’(1987). But coming mid-way through his exploits as John McClane, it could be viewed as a template for a ‘Bruce Willis-style’ film. It is a non-stop kaleidoscope of roller-coaster action and fast chases, plus plenty of wise-cracking one liners and under-the-breath imprecations from the star. It provides 101 minutes of high octane, high-risk entertainment, with a sizeable measure of dark, dry humour and a little romance. The film was shot in Pittsburgh. The original title was ‘Three Rivers’, an allusion to the position of the city at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers, which combine to form the Ohio River, flowing north west as it begins its journey to the Mississippi. Much of the action takes place on the rivers, their various bridges, moorings and shore areas, making this old industrial centre look remarkably attractive and photogenic. The director is the deliciously appropriately-named Rowdy Herrington ~ Rowdy is his real name!. He has a smallish number of film credits, the most noteworthy probably being the original, wonderfully good ‘bad’ film, ‘Road House’(1989), starring the late greats, Patrick Swayze and Ben Gazzara. Herrington also co-wrote this film, with Marty Kaplan, a writer, academic and former executive at Disney. It was not originally designed to be quite so fast-paced and muscular, but there were major issues and upheavals at Sony, at the time. Apparently, Bruce Willis also bossed the set, and insisted on dozens of script changes, as filming occurred. Sadly, he doesn’t emerge from accounts of the film’s making with a great deal of credit. Seemingly, the resulting original final cut was an incomprehensible mess. To make the film fit for cinematic release, quite a bit of editing and reshooting had to be programmed, and Willis was pretty angry. It seems he did not treat Herrington very well during the main shoot, or when changes had to be made. It says much for Herrington’s skill that the resulting film is both comprehensible and often witty, with little sign of the stresses and reconfigurations going on behind the scenes. Willis’s co-star was Sarah Jessica Parker, then quite early in her career. She had several comedy and lighter roles under her belt, but was still five years away from the instant recognition she won through her role in ‘Sex and the City’. Here, she does well in a fairly active role, and holds her own with Willis. Tom Sizemore and Andre Braugher, again early in their careers, also feature, and are very good. This film is emphatically not of the same calibre as any of the ‘Die Hard’ films. It is however, exciting, pacy and nicely filmed, positioning itself squarely into that ‘blue collar Cop Land’ genre of American films. 4 bold, assertive Stars.
