Review of Even the Rain (2011) by Millo T — 20 Apr 2013
Good characters work combining past and present, history and social ideals, and the reactions of the different components of the film team (director, producer, actors, each with a different vision of life -idealistic, cinic, compromising) to the colonial problems which are described in the movie they are making, and also the water problems that are happening in Bolivia at the time they are making the movie.
Not manicheist, finds character with a grey scale between the absolute white and black, and creates good combination among them. Also a good approach to the different points of view, conception of life and perspective to problems of the First and the Thirld World.
The only bad point is that, and the end, it seems that the story doesn´t close completely, but it is something that sometimes happens in life too. Also another point that you may like/dislike of the movie is that it seems sometimes more concentrated in the reactions of the Spanish citizens than on the problems of the indians themselves.
