Trailer de La Zona, (Mexico-España, 2007)

TRAILER DE "LA ZONA"
LA CINTA MAS ESPERADA DEL 2008

Lo habíamos estado esperando, y aquí esta el trailer de La Zona, opera prima de Rodrigo Pla, ganadora en Venecia, Toronto y Atenas. Sin duda, la película que más anticipo en el 2008. Será distribuida por Arte Cinema / Gussi en Febrero, aunque sus directores siguen proponiendo que se estrene antes de finalizar el año pues temen la piratería, ya que la cinta será estrenada en España el 8 de Noviembre. Aquí les dejo algunos extractos de reseñas, incluyendo la del metacritico Santiago Ulloa en Morelia. Las demás están en ingles, pensé en traducirlas pero detesto traducir, así que usen el google translator, muy eficaz, no siempre confiable pero se darán una idea.

“Signals another promising discovery in a film industry that is definitely coming into its own golden age”

- The Hollywood Reporter

“In his FIPRESCI-awarded debut feature La Zona, the Mexican director of Uruguayan origin Rodrigo Plá unfolds the image of a rich Mexican minority surrounded by a poor majority. The film makes a subtle use of cinematographic codes (thriller, anticipation), bringing to light a sadly realistic dichotomy: The gap in Mexican society, and the frailty of human conviction… The development soon plunges us into a classical manhunt thriller.”

- Fipresci

“An impressive feature debut that sweeps the viewer into the horrors of vigilante injustice, Pla finds the perfect balance between the eerie perfection of La Zona and the rottenness at its core, refusing to let anyone off either by action or inaction”

- Variety

“ A sharp social satire, and one disturbingly close to the reality of segregated communities in many parts of South America. Pla has a worthwhile point to make and he argues it well with the help of a supremely talented cast”

- Twitch

“Rodrigo Pla es toda una promesa en el cine mundial, creo que desde Amores Perros no se producía una cinta [mexicana] ‘convencional’ con tanto calibre”

- Days of Cinema

“La Zona is one of those rare films which grips you from the start and doesn't let go till the end credits roll up. It is also a rare example of a thriller and social drama which delivers on both fronts It's one of the most accomplished feature debuts that I have ever seen and you can be certain that Rodrigo Pla's name is going to be much better known in the coming years..”
