Johann D. M @Johann33 Aug 8 🇨🇴 ¡¡¡TRÁGICA E INTENSA!!! Esta miniserie de 8 episodios está basada en la novela de Laura Restrepo. Narra la historia de un profesor que, al ver a su esposa sumida en un estado de delirio, decide investigar su oscuro pasado para reconstruir su historia y descubrir el origen de su locura. Se trata de una historia impactante que explora personajes psicológicamente complejos mientras aborda temas tabú como la salud mental y la violencia, todo dentro del contexto social y político de la Colombia de los años ochenta. También revela los secretos más oscuros de familias marcadas por su entorno. Las actuaciones son sólidas y sostienen con firmeza el peso emocional de la trama. Sin embargo, la edición deja mucho que desear, y la línea temporal, confusa por momentos, distrae al espectador en lo que podría haber sido una obra excelente con un diseño de producción alucinante. La historia en general es poderosa, y aunque el final ofrece momentos satisfactorios, pudo haber sido más redondo. Parece una buena adaptación del libro, aunque, como suele ocurrir, nada supera al texto original.

It adeptly explores various facets of reality that many would prefer to avoid, particularly in the realm of mental health. It delves into the losses people endure, the secrets families harbor, the shame, and the unspeakable truths that often remain hidden. The main character is portrayed with remarkable depth, embodying her contradictions, her pain, and her outsider status. While the portrayal of narcotrafficking may sometimes seem clichéd, it powerfully reflects the tragic realities faced by countries like Colombia. The series presents this issue in a way that highlights the stark contrast between greed and basic human needs, illustrating how both affluent families and those from impoverished backgrounds can become ensnared in the trade. The depiction of a man who knows how to love, yet is engulfed in despair, is particularly poignant. The comparison between two mothers (Valentina's v. Mida's) is revealing of how notably social classes have different values. The quality of the imagery and performances is outstanding, with a thoughtful use of color and carefully constructed scenarios that vividly illustrate the disparities among social classes. I was especially impressed by the way the main character's hippie sensibilities are expressed through her choice of colors and lighting, adding a unique layer to her personality.

The book and the series are delirious. Fragmented. Dark. Raw. Intimate. See more Read all reviews
