the red meadows of family infidelity

Three months after the magnificent Homeby Álex Montoya, comes this other Spanish film with a similar generic approach (comedy-drama) and exact subtexts (nostalgia and loyalty to a family and a way of going through life), although focused in a high-class abode. Of the inevitable comparison Dani de la Orden’s bet loses, Who came up with the idea of ​​this? Burning housethen put on page by the scriptwriter Eduard Solá, which will also take the most cinephiles back to José Luis Garci’s fiery chalet in The green meadows (1979).

The family, each one with their lies (to their partners, children and parents, but above all to themselves), is on fire, and the home of their best moments witnesses their self-destruction in a community meeting to collect belongings that It ends up in the laundry room for dirty rags. With the usual elegant staging of Of the Order and a great group of performers, capable of moving and making people laugh, the film, however, It dilutes somewhat in half. The beginning, in terms of the originality of the situations, is unusual, but then there are passages with dialogues that are too theatrical and the outcome, based on chance, is very discreet.
