Danyka: mar de fondo
"Danyka" is the new movie from Australian-Mexican director Michael Rowe, an exploration of the desire and fantasies provoked by the innate beauty of youth. In the plot, Demián Bichir plays Armando, who is fascinated by the physical, intellectual, and spiritual beauty of a 15-year-old girl named Danyka, portrayed by Sasha González. A deep reading would reveal that Danyka represents everything Armando has lost in life: youth, rebellion, energy. He, going through a mid-life crisis, is confronted with this fascinating character. The premise is not uncommon in cinema, having been seen before in films like 'Lolita' or 'American Beauty', but definitely making a movie about male desire that eroticizes the very young female body in the #MeToo era is still a minefield. The plus points are the performances of Demián Bichir and Sasha González. In fact, the chemistry between the two is so natural that the dialogues don't even seem forced.
Drama
Downtown Owl
'Downtown Owl' - Searching for a break from her cosmopolitan life in Milwaukee, Julia Rabia (Lily Rabe), arrives in the closeknit Reagan-era town of Owl, North Dakota for a one-semester high school teaching job. But when the small town turns out to be a wonderland of second-string poets, smoldering Marlboro Men, and a social hierarchy that echoes high school, Julia doesn't know if she's come to town to get away from home or to find it. Ed Harris, Vanessa Hudgens, Henry Golding, and Finn Wittrock also star in this Great Plains dark dramedy directed by Lily Rabe and Hamish Linklater. Based on the novel by Chuck Klosterman.
