Yesterday - Yesterday, the name of the title character, is an interesting and powerful film about a woman in Africa that finds out she has AIDS. It’s her journey trying to see a doctor that is many miles away from her village. Finally she meets someone who helps her to get to the doctors facility early so that she has a better chance of seeing the doctor. Things get worse when she searches for her husband to make sure he gets testing. The film shows the misinformation and ignorance of people about the transmission of the virus. The fear and isolation from brought on by the small community.
Yesterday’s cinematography is like looking at photographs. It’s surreal and stunning.
It’s a touching film of determination and fulfilling dreams.
All About My Mother - This is a Pedro Almadovar film that is a story within a story. It seems inspired by All About Eve and a Street Car Name Desire. Penelope Cruz, one of Pedro’s muses also stars in this film. It’s typical Almadovar, from the color to the quirky characters.
Thanks for stopping by and do come back.
