Isabel Coixet travels to Rome to share the story of her naturalistic intimacy

So a cosmopolitan spirit and a frontal view of human suffering join hands in this new foray into Coixet in dark shades of the female experience. If it is an existential odyssey recorded on a microscopic scale, it can also be interpreted as a film version of the sonata, where the two opposing themes of the musical form appear here as a sentimental Congo in all its agitation and the assumption of fatality compared to grief and punishment.

The main character Tres adioses – a film that deals with the breakdown of a marriage and that telegraphs the process of self-discovery – is Marta, the institute professor who gives life to the Florentines Rohrwacher albumsan actress who wields her talent and inner beauty beyond the confines of the screen with discretion and virtuosity—if her faces don’t so eloquently proclaim her Germanic and Latin roots, you might say we’re ahead The Gena Rowlands of our time–.

It should be noted, however, that Rohrwacher does not wander alone into the emotional minefield he pursues Tres adiosesuntil he seems well flanked by actor Elio Germano, who gives the film’s languid emotional buff a dash of power, and the infallible Francesco Carril, which embodies a romantic illusion that could well have escaped from a Nanni Moretti comedy.

In its eternal debate on the front that separates the utility of drama and the arrogance of melodrama, the cinema of Isabel Coixet it tends to put its protagonists in a state of paralysisa potential lack of agency that combines poorly with the translucent poetry of the Barcelona author.

Please, Tres adioses Please read part of these words thanks happy turns of the narrativewhich combine an empowering factor with a welcome touch of humor. For example, Marta’s character’s relationship with a South Korean pop icon, or the rekindling of a love impulse that seems to repeat itself with a grand ellipsis.

Finally, after his heterogeneous adaptations of novels by Sara Mesa, Philip Roth or Penelope Fitzgerald, Coixet turned to show that Tres adioses that his distinct stylistic style—the intimacy of a naturalistic alien—allows for suggestive variation: in this case a fairy tale and an extraordinary dose of historical power.
