EL BELLA VISTA (2012) dir. Alicia Cano Menoni The story of a house started as a football club, becoming a successful trans brothel and changes at last to a Catholic Chapel, all in a small conservative village in Uruguay. Two trans women, one brothel's Madame, a brickmaker, ex football players, and a nun will bring to life this battle for control of a single physical space, home to mutually antagonistic institutions, driven by the same motivation: passion.

'The novel The Talented Mr. Ripley , written by Patricia Highsmith and published in 1955, is not only a reference for police literature, it is also the letter of introduction of Tom Ripley, its complex protagonist.

Ambitious, educated, charming, manipulative and completely amoral, Ripley starred in five novels by the author who died in 1995. That magnetism transferred to the role, starring in adaptations in film, theater and television.

The first film version was In Full Sun directed by René Clément in 1960 and catapulted the young Alain Delon to global stardom , who stepped into the shoes of this charming serial swindler.

Since then actors such as Dennis Hopper in The American Friend (1977, by Wim Wenders), Matt Damon in The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999, by Anthony Minghella) and John Malkovich in Ripley's Game (2002, by Liliana Cavani) have played this sinister character on the big screen.

Of these adaptations, the best known is the one that starred Matt Damon alongside a great cast that included Gwyneth Paltrow, Cate Blanchett and Jude Law. It is available in the Netflix catalog.

And Ripley , an eight-episode miniseries created, adapted and directed by Steven Zaillian , winner of the Oscar for best adapted screenplay for Schindler's List , and creator of the award-winning series The Night Of , arrived on the platform this Thursday . It tells, in black and white, the complicated first mission of this vile character: he must bring back to the United States the son of a shipping magnate who lives the high life on the Italian Riviera, far from worries and obligations.

This time, the charismatic Ripley, a character who knows how to adapt and blend in like few others, has the face of the British Andrew Scott , who is currently showing in Uruguayan cinemas in the drama We Are All Strangers , alongside Paul Mescal.

Of course, Scott has been a name known for a long time thanks to several hits such as the Oscar-winning 1917 (available to rent on NSNow de Nuevo Siglo), the award-winning series Fleabag (on Prime Video), His Dark Materials (Max) and Sherlock (on Prime Video and Max), where he was another well-known villain: Moriarty, nemesis of the detective who starred in Benedict Cumberbatch .

Ripley , which is set in 1960s Italy, closely follows the events of Highsmith's novel, to which Scott brings his charisma and sinister aura, barely conveyed by his face.

It also has art direction and photography that show the decadent and sophisticated atmosphere of the Italian Riviera. That setting, full of stairs, shadows and nooks, is the ideal backdrop for Ripley's machinations. They also help cover up his various deceptions. The thing is that Ripley, above all, is a survivor.

We meet him when he is still living in a flophouse in New York and leading an inelegant life as a small-time white-collar criminal. His job, for which he only needs a typewriter, ingenuity and ability to imitate accents, is to intercept correspondence and pose as a collector of unpaid debts.

A variety of elderly people who hear little and see less are his victims, whom he defrauds out of a few dollars; enough to survive.

Despite their dedication, everything indicates that those days are coming to an end. At the bank, when he goes to cash the checks, they begin to look at him differently, and when he is about to throw in the towel he receives a stroke of luck: a millionaire he has never heard of wants to see him.

It's about Herbert Greenleaf (played by director and Oscar winner for Manchester by the Sea, Kenneth Lonergan), who runs a shipping company in New York and wants his prodigal son, Dickie (Johnny Flynn, aka Mr. Knightley) in the Emma with Anya Taylor-Joy), come home.

The young man is living the high life in Atrani thanks to a millionaire trust that his parents regret having hired. And although Ripley is not one of his closest friends (later both will say that they did not know each other before), he will accept the mission after hearing that the travel and lodging are covered, and that on top of that he will receive several thousand dollars as a salary. . The dream job for any scammer.

At first glance, the task seems simple, although it will become more complicated as Ripley becomes involved in lies, deception, and even death. Ripley is one of the most magnetic villains in literature, he is also an insatiable predator of money, power and luxuries; Everything that he has not had in his modest life, he is willing to get, and at any cost.

One of the first obstacles he will have to overcome is Marge ( Dakota Fanning ), Dickie's girlfriend, who first begins to suspect that there is something strange in the attitude of her partner's new friend. Although there is no one who can resist Ripley, she can unfold herself to be the person her interlocutor wants to see.

Beyond the young woman's doubts, Ripley quickly infiltrates Dickie's life, gaining his trust and even managing to live in his house, located at the top of the place and for which you have to climb an eternity of stairs.

It is worth clarifying that Ripley is a series that takes its time to develop. It is not to consume and discard. This apparent slowness in the plot allows Ripley's every movement, every gesture and even thought to be shown, thus marking a latent tension that only increases.

For this reason, the appearance of Inspector Ravini (Maurizio Lombardi) who begins to investigate the death of Freddie Miles (Eliot Sumner), a hindrance to Ripley's plans, serves to show how the antihero manages to manipulate even a police officer with several years of service. .

Likewise, Dickie's entourage begins to have doubts about Ripley, while shadows accumulate, as do deceptions and bodies.

And as if it were House of Cards (another Netflix series with a villain as the protagonist), the lies that were building the house of cards seem to be about to be discovered every second.

This distressing wait, contemplated from beautiful landscapes, is narrated through the perspective of the protagonist.'

Sonia Paulino Love Outbound to Montevideo, Day 23

Everyone is suddenly wearing long sleeves and sweatshirts. The weather is pleasant and it's still Carnival Weekend so the city is calm. This made for a really nice day of museums and walk-abouts starting at Ciudad Vieja for Museo El Juguetero, or the Toymaker Museum. 

Well-lit display cases of different categories of toys dating as far back as the late 19th century lined the walls of what was once one of Montevideo's first clothing factories. I especially enjoyed a display of the small metal banks you would get when you opened an account at a bank in Uruguay, the toy sewing machines with examples from 1900s - 1980s, small robots from 1950s-1970s, the cheap plastic halloween masks like my siblings and I wore in the 1970s-80s, and those tiny glass Coke and 7Up bottles that adults collected but were not for playing with.

The Museo Histórico Cabildo, also in Ciudad Vieja, houses Montevideo's historical archives in what was the governor's house in early 19th-century. I was charmed by the building's intricately designed wrought iron entry doors, covered exterior walkways, and many arches. I was treated to historical illustrations of mate-carrying citizenry and arial views of the city, an exhibit of 1880-1920s ladies' fashions, Uruguayan contemporary art, and even a taxidermal anteater.  

Later, I took a local bus to the eastern edge of town and transferred to a different line through Ciudad de la Costa to a neighborhood called Shangrila for a tour of the Centro Cultural Shangrila. It wasn't actually in operation for the holiday, but the playgrounds and garden are open and available for the community 24hrs, suffering very little vandalism. But for the janitorial staff, the facilities, which includes a robust library and a theatre production/screening room, are completely volunteer-run. All are maintained by the neighborhood's pride of ownership. Most of the funding is secured by voluntary $5 monthly donations. My guide, Renzo, is a coordinator at the Centro and a colleague of Valentina's. He was kind enough to offer me a ride and dropped me off at la rambla near home. 

I sat and looked at the ocean for a while before leisurely making my way, stopping in at an art-house cinema/garden cafe/bookstore for a browse.

Cinema by and against the Dictatorship

Significant films that stood out during the regime are:

Liber Arce, Liberarse (Mario Handler and Mario Jacob 1969) (a title that translates to “Liberate”) is a 10 min short film about a student named Liber Arce (hence, the wordplay with the title) who was shot by a government official and whose funeral turned into the most celebrated demonstration of Montevideo.

El Honguito Feliz (The Happy Mushroom) is an animated children’s film in which a sad mushroom find support from other animal friends which are all diverse but nonetheless manage to help one another despite their differences. The role of sweet animation took on a role of subversion to the violent regime that was taking place at the time. It is important to note that the filmmakers took on the same values of solidarity that the film depicted as they cooperatively created the film and chose a simple cut-out technique for animation in order to have non-trained CINECO members participate in the creation of the film.

En la Selva Hay mucho por Hacer (Walter Tournier 1974) is a stop-motion animation film for children that depicts Uruguayan society as a jungle with a diverse range of animals. The film uses metaphors to depict the exilement, execution, and incarceration of revolutionaries while the animals represent Uruguayan citizens and their families.

Guri (Eduardo Darino, 1980) took on a significant role in the film history of Uruguay, as its main character, a gaucho, served as a nation-building figure. It was sponsored by the State, and was distributed in both Uruguay and in the US. It has been categorized as a docudrama, a heritage film, and an educational film, depending on its context.

Happy Birthday/ Buon Compleanno

Al Grande George Hilton

(talvolta accreditato come Jorge Hilton nome d'arte di Jorge Hill Acosta y Lara (Montevideo, 16 luglio 1934)

attore uruguaiano naturalizzato italiano.

Nato e cresciuto in Uruguay, è divenuto famoso grazie alle sue apparizioni in molti spaghetti western.

Inizia la carriera lavorando in radio.

Nel 1955 si trasferisce in Argentina, adotta lo pseudonimo di Jorge Hilton e comincia ad apparire in diversi fotoromanzi e in produzioni cinematografiche destinate al mercato interno del paese.

Nel 1963 giunge in Italia seguendo l'esempio di altri attori sudamericani come Jorge Rigaud e Alberto de Mendoza, attirati dalla fiorente industria cinematografica romana.

Dopo aver anglicizzato il suo nome in George, ottiene il ruolo principale in una pellicola di pirati: Il corsaro nero nell'isola del tesoro (1965) ed interpreta, nello stesso anno, un emulo di 007 nel film comico Due mafiosi contro Goldginger con Franco e Ciccio.

Viene lanciato nel genere western dal regista Lucio Fulci col film Le colt cantarono la morte e fu... tempo di massacro (1966), al fianco di Franco Nero ed in breve diviene un'icona nel genere.

L'anno seguente partecipa infatti a ben sette produzioni del filone, alimentando la sua fama a livello internazionale ed ottenendo buon seguito soprattutto in Spagna.

Diventa una delle maggiori star del cinema italiano assieme a Terence Hill, Franco Nero e Giuliano Gemma.

Affronta anche altri generi, dal dramma al film di guerra, approdando infine al giallo con la pellicola di Romolo Guerrieri Il dolce corpo di Deborah (1968).

Dotato di un fascino languido e tenebroso, l'attore si adatta perfettamente al genere e così viene chiamato ad interpretare alcuni dei più noti titoli del filone tra cui: Lo strano vizio della signora Wardh (1970), La coda dello scorpione (1971), Tutti i colori del buio (1972), diretti da Sergio Martino e Perché quelle strane gocce di sangue sul corpo di Jennifer? (1972) di Giuliano Carnimeo, sempre affiancato da Edwige Fenech.

Partecipa anche a film polizieschi (Torino violenta - 1977), commedie (Taxi Girl - 1977) e fanta-avventurosi (I predatori di Atlantide - 1983), ma dagli anni ottanta le sue apparizioni si fanno sempre più sporadiche.

Lavora in film per la TV (A cena col vampiro - 1988), telefilm (College (1989), il sequel di Abbronzatissimi, Abbronzatissimi 2 - Un anno dopo (1993), dove interpreta l'attempato fidanzato di Bea (Valeria Marini) e la miniserie Tre addii (1999). Nel 2007 prende parte al film Natale in crociera, di Neri Parenti, nel ruolo del comandante della nave.

🇬🇧 George Hilton born Jorge Hill Acosta y Lara (16 July 1934), is a Uruguayan actor well known for his many spaghetti western performances.

Sometimes credited as Jorge Hilton, he appeared in over 20 Euro-westerns as well as several Giallo and action films.

.... In 1963 he moved to Italy, following the footsteps of other famous South American actors such as the Argentines Jorge Rigaud and Alberto de Mendoza, who were attracted by the thriving Italian film industry of the '60s. After Anglicizing his name to George, he got the lead role in The Masked Man Against the Pirates (Il corsaro nero nell'isola del Tesoro, 1965) and appeared in the Franco and Ciccio Bond spoof comedy Due mafiosi contro Goldginger, directed by Giorgio Simonelli.

His career in the Euro-western genre was launched by director Lucio Fulci with the film The Brute and the Beast (1966), starring Franco Nero, where his supporting role made him an instant icon in the genre. In 1967 he appeared to even greater effect as "Stranger" in Any Gun Can Play (also known as Go Kill and Come Back) with Edd Byrnes and Gilbert Roland. In the following year he participated in seven productions, enhancing his international reputation and garnering him significant attention, especially in Spain. Soon Hilton became one of the major stars of spaghetti westerns, eventually playing Sartana in the last film of the "Sartana" series, Sartana's Here… Trade Your Pistol for a Coffin, after Gianni Garko left the role. His most famous character is arguably that of the gunslinger Allelujah (or Hallelujah) in They Call Me Hallelujah (1971), created with director Giuliano Carnimeo, who also directed the sequel involving the same character (Return of Hallelujah, 1972) as well as Man Called Invincible (1973), in which Hilton played Tresette, another of his famous roles. Besides westerns, Hilton appeared in numerous "gialli" (mostly in the 1970s), and in more conventional crime and action films after the spaghetti western craze ended.

In recent years Hilton has reduced his film appearances but nevertheless remains active, and he is still fondly remembered as one of the biggest stars of Italian cinema, along with Terence Hill, Franco Nero and Giuliano Gemma. His legacy as a film star also remains intact, with Hilton asked to do many interviews and retrospectives on his film career on a regular basis.

7, 11 & 22 🌻

7. three words from your native language that you like the most?

hmmm i don't know actually! i do like words in english, french, even the word 'habibi' in arabic, though i haven't studied that language yet. i should have my favorites cause i write but maybe i'm so used to spanish that i don't appreciate the beauty in it. i guess i do like to use adverbs a lot, i overuse them even in english lol

11. favourite native writer/poet?

uhhh. damn. i haven't read many books from argentine writers. i did read books that i liked from different writers at school but i can't remember their names. i do want to read more argentine books though, like from jorge luis borges, i still have to read rayuela that i should have read in high school lol. i remember reading some short stories, mostly horror stories and i think one of them was by horacio quiroga but he's uruguayan 😅 but there was one that i still remember that was really gross and just awful

22. what makes you proud about your country? what makes you ashamed?

oh man i could make a whole essay about this. what makes me proud of my country? the passion we have. the connection we crave, we crave to be close to one another, we're not shy (i mean, i am but most people aren't), that we're not indifferent to the other, for good or for bad we're always looking at other people and kind hearts won't hesitate to help you. that we're warm, we have a family culture, that it might be harmful sometimes, but it doesn't necessarily mean family as in relatives, your friends could be family. the fact that we never get bored here. maybe our language and our accent. some of the things we produced, whether that be cinema, music, literature. the food, holy shit, we eat so well down here. the natural beauty, the landscapes. i guess in a way, the way we survived to all the shit we've gone through. and since this is a footy blog, i am super proud of the national team. the group is so beautiful and we have a family <3

however, i am ashamed of so many things. the corruption in this country, whether from businessmen and politicians. the economy, the way we have the capacity to produce food for millions yet there are people starving. many parts of our history. the same way there are good things about our society and culture, there are bad things. i guess we're actually egocentric and we want to be better than everyone (but i find that to be a coping mechanism, we know where we live, we just want to feel better about ourselves lol). how nobody does anything to protect us from injustice. people having outdated beliefs. the way we have the power to change everything, to demand change, to get out of this situation, because maybe we can be better but nobody wants to think outside the box.

whew that's a long answer. tl;dr i love and hate argentina at the same time

#asks #thanks for asking sorry for the long answer hdfhdh <3

Sara answering some questions from fans (part 2):

,,Was I afraid of contracting Covid while being pregnant during the epidemic? Yes, I was very scared of it. And even more during those last weeks...” 

,,What is the performance that I’m the most proud of having performed? In all my projects I always try to give 1000 of 100%. Recently I had the opportunity to play an Argentinian, a Uruguayan and an Andalusian... The accents are quite difficult, but I tried to dedicate them a lot of hard work and love. For sure, I’m happy with the final result.”  

,,What advices could I give to become a good actress in the future? Training, training and once again training. Being in a constant evolution. Always when I’m not working on the set, I’m present at conferences, tutorials, masterclasses and courses to continue learning and to be prepare for the moment they call me for the next casting.” 

,,What was the weirdest craving I’ve had? It’s not a craving, but recently I have a desire to gorge myself on roscón de reyes. Yes, those with pastry crem , because I don’t like the cream.”

 ,,When I became vegan? I’m ovo-lacto vegetarian since more or less 8 years.” 

,,Would I like to play in thriller and what is my favourite of them? I’m a fan of thrillers. Always when I see a billboard of such movie, I go to the cinema. I have many favourites, but I reccomend you especially ,,It follows”.” 

,,An advice for an amateur writer? I don’t consider myslef as a writer...it gives me a lot of trouble to give you advice. I could only tell you that if you write from yourself, from witihin your soul, there will be: truth. And that’s primordial. I also think that it’s importnat to create a schedule and deadlines to meet.”

,,If I could work with every director in the world, who would I choose? I would like to be called by a new director with a good story and an interesting character.” 

,,The last song I’ve listened to? The Bath Song 😂😂😂”
