Venezuelan cinema today is pleased to offer three very interesting films from different directors and genres. Two of which are shortlisted for the Oscar as are Havana Eva and brother. Fina Torres gives us a comedy that portrays the social reality of Cuba in the middle of a love story.
Fina Torres's proposal has the distinction of having elements of magical realism-pleasing Latin America. The film has some quite remarkable sequence errors that the post did not see. There is also the problem of sound, at times the movie does not listen very well, something in the school of communication tell us again and again, the sound can not be ignored.
note is the performance Prakriti Maduro, Venezuela as we all know that the character of the Cuban working so well that he was not note their nationality. Besides colorful characters as the friend Cubans happy, jealous and conservative pope, two old ladies so much fun and "green" literally. A comedy that can not be seen
Luis Alberto Lamata presents a historical drama that tells the story of how a man becomes a social misfit because of an elitist society as it was at that time. In this way the military takes control of the English crown with a group of disaffected black and brown, ready to kill any target will traverse Creole on the road.
The story is interesting enough in itself despite lacking historical rigor. In part because it is based on the novel by Herrera Luque "Boves, the grouse." In my opinion there is quite bumpy history. Does not explain why the Crown chose him to command his army. Nor does the fact that the first fight with the royalist army and uniformed Domingo Monteverde. Does not explain why the board wanted independence patriotic and why Simon Bolivar is the sworn enemy of Boves. Show the chaos but do not explain why it arose.
Finally it is interesting to see the parallel that has this character with Two Faces. Ie how a man with good intentions becomes a monster because society destroy your soul.

Finally Marcel gives us a tragedy. Brother has so far been awarded three international awards, all national pride! Who knows if even an Oscar winner! Once again we see the Venezuelan social realism on screen. It tells the story of two brothers who dream of being a scout players and offers them the opportunity to play club football in Caracas, which begins the fulfillment of their dreams. The film has a beautiful message about brotherly sacrifice and what it means to have a quixotic dream achievable. Is Clearly the great effort put into this film for all the technical details done right, which is thanks enough.
