Maria Ripoll decides to start this film with a flashback that can be disconcerting first. However, with only two gestures by Susi Sánchez we discovered that it is not about knowing how the divine leftbut to understand that mother, charismatic and distant, on which Milena Busquets wrote, author of the novel on which this film is based. Merit of a magnificent actress and a script (work of Ripoll and Olga Iglesias) that based on loose brushstrokes composes a precise portrait of editor Esther Tusquets and the complex relationship that united her to her daughter.
The always delicate process of moving a book to the screen is more when it comes to a title like this, becoming almost classic in duel literature. The bet is to stay at all times attached to the original, with its summer in Cadaqués, its lovers, ex -husband and its privileged intensity. It is right to keep part of the intact text as an inner logo in the voiceover, incorporating layers both the character we see, the protagonist, as we do not see, her dead mother. And we must thank you for polishing to eliminate several of the dinners that appear in the novel, making all your cup cup reflections in hand in 96 minutes.
Although the true engine of ‘This will also happen’ is Marina Salas, who gives Blanca, Alter Ego of Milena Busquets. It is very difficult to get to look like someone who really does not resemble so much. And he does not do it with wigs or dressings, but to seize the character’s soul until she is. The director says what you think with just looking at it, and it is true.
It causes fascination sometimes, rejection in others when you see a teenager with 40 years and two children, selfish and frivolous. But the film closes with such a round scene (slightly different in the novel) that there is no choice but to hug her. Maria Rodés’s soundtrack accompanies better than that duel without tragedy or darkness.
For those who were caught by Milena Busquets’s novel
The best: The interpretation of Marina Salas.
Worst: The loading ones that can be the talks with their friends.

Laura is a film critic and cultural journalist. The first time it went to the cinema saw the alien ‘, and that is never forgotten. He has written about theater, music, art, photography, architecture and gastronomy in ‘Elle’ and ‘Harper’s Bazaar’. In ‘Photograms’ he specializes in what we could call ‘author cinema’, although he plays all the sticks.
He studied journalism at the Complutense University of Madrid and specialized in the conflict in Northern Ireland at Queen University of Belfast. What led him to see ‘Hidden Agenda’ (Ken Loach, 1990), ‘In the name of the father’ (Jim Sheridan, 1997), ‘Bloody Sunday’ (Paul Grengrass, 2002) and all the films that had to do with the anger.
He traveled to Cuba to study at the EICTV (International School of Film and Television) of San Antonio de los Baños, where he saw a lot of Latin American cinema and drank too many mojitos. He also rolled a documentary on the island full of wonderful characters. One of his first works was on the television channel ‘Cineclassics’, where he co -wrote the documentary ‘The cinema during the Spanish Civil War’.
He loves ‘The Empire of the Sun’ (Steven Spielberg, 1987), ‘Dracula of Bram Stoker’ (Francis Ford Coppola, 1992), ‘Thelma & Louise’ (Ridley Scott, 1992) and ‘The Age of Innocence’ (Martin Scorsese, 1993). But, in general, he feels a predilection for small films that tell stories in which no one would notice if he crossed them down the street. He likes that cinema that lives beyond the margins of entertainment.
He has co -written the book ‘Cine and Fashion’ (ed. Pigmalion Edypro) already throughout his career has interviewed performers and filmmakers such as Helen Mirren, to Pacino, Jessica Chastain, Isabelle Huppert, Juliette Binoche, Julianne Moore, Hirokazu Koreeda, Sam Mendes, Jonathan Glazer, Margot Robbie, Margot Robbie, Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Jude Law or Hugh Jackman.
