Award-winning Chilean movie in NY

#1 Post by Larry B. » Sat Mar 30, 2013 2:44 am

I went to see this movie when it was first released, as it is supposed to be a bio film of my favorite Latin American artist: Violeta Parra, a Chilean folk singer, writer and weaver who lived here around the 60s and who still is a big influence for musicians and wirter in Latin America.

Well, I didn't like it. I thought the acting was bad, the script was lame and the story wasn't really faithful to what she really was.

However, hardly any critics agree with me. And now it's being shown in New York, so I thought maybe some of would like to check it out. It's called Violeta Went to Heaven, and it's on Quad Cinema (http://www.quadcinema.com/) and the Lincoln Plaza Cinema (http://www.lincolnplazacinema.com/)
