Dani de la Orden’s new film is a tribute to the mothers who one day left everything to take care of their family
Dani de la Orden is a director accustomed to the comedy genre. His second film, El pregón, starring Andreu Buenafuente and Berto Romero, seemed like one of those comedies with yellow letters and a blue background that are so prevalent in our cinema, but with a surprising twist: It was good.
He then dedicated himself to directing episodes of Elite —which although it had little comedy, it had to be seen adding a lot of sense of humor to the matter— and continued delving deeper into this matter of laughter, with the production Until wedding do us part, Mom or Dadproduction for Netflix Crazy for her and The test. Even somewhere in the middle he tried his luck with sports drama in 42 seconds.
Now it’s the turn of black humor with Burning house, premiering exclusively in theaters today, June 28. Starring a great cast made up of, among others, Emma Vilarasau, Enric Auquer, Alberto San Juan, Clara Segura and Macarena García, House on Fire tells the story of Montse, a woman who is going to spend the weekend with the family of she in Cadaqués, something that she finds very exciting. No jokes.
Montse has been divorced for some time. Her ex has rebuilt his life – having Alberto San Juan’s face it is easy to do so – and has a new partner. Her children are already grown, that is how time passes, and as is usually the case in most cases, They completely ignore her. However, Montse has been waiting for that weekend for a long, long time and no one and nothing is going to ruin it for her.
The film, therefore, revolves around a woman who has also been a mother and who now faces a maturity free of burdens. In this regard, Macarena García, in an interview with Europa Pressstates that the film portrays those women close to 60 and 70 years old who “They have left themselves and are tiredwho have left everything for their children and their care.
According to Dani de la Orden, the film aims to allow the viewer to enjoy a comedy that supports auteur cinema: “Comedy is a genre that is popularly appreciated, but at the level of prestige it still struggles. It’s hard to call a movie very good when it’s a comedy. It is believed that the artistic or more prestigious part is diluted in favor of popularity.”
Burning house It is already in cinemas throughout Spain, ready to stir consciences already making us have a really bad time with this family.
