Te Prometo Anarquía (2015)

[kansassire]

Una pelicula importante por lo que supone de visionaria, una especie de distopia social que ya tenemos aquí, que es más real que nunca. 

Cómprame un revolver, 2018, Julio Hernández Cordón

[mclegsmrloui]

Te prometo anarquía (2015) Director: Julio Hernández Cordón, Actores: Diego Calva Hernández, Eduardo Eliseo Martínez.

Nominada al Ariel de Plata por Mejor Dirección y Mejor Fotografía, Te prometo anarquía es una historia como no la hay en muchas partes, humana, pues sus giros y las direcciones que toma son refejo de una vida desorganizada, una vida real que, por más triste que parezca, sucede en México, y por más cruda que sea, todos podemos identificarnos con algo cuando nos lo arroja al rostro de una manera que sólo Hernández Cordón puede lograr.

Miguel y Johnny han hecho todo juntos desde niños, son mejores amigos, crecieron juntos, aprendieron a patinar y desde pequeños se arrojaron  la calle, valientes y solos, teniéndose el uno al otro, a pesar de que entre ellos existía una barrera social que mucha gente no logra rebasar, la mamá de Johnny es la sirvienta en la casa de Miguel, pero eso no parece importarles, pues su relación va más allá de cualquier etiqueta. También son amantes y, a pesar de que Miguel está verdaderamente enamorado de Johnny, no recibe de él ninguna señal que indique que él lo está también. Tienen un negocio entre manos, el tráfico de sangre, el ordeñamiento de personas. Hacen un trato con el narco y ellos les consiguen a la gente, pagándoles y quedándose con la ganancia, esto hasta que hacen un trato con alguien que no conocen, y todo se complica, poniendo en riesgo no solo su seguridad, sino también dejando expuestos los hilos más delicados que los mantienen juntos.

Una historia sumamente compleja, con muchas capas para ahondar desde cualquier punto de vista y sumamente inteligente, Te prometo anarquía es una película estelar y realizada con un cuidado que mantiene no solo la imagen leal, sino también visceral y cruda, haciéndonos sentir el miedo, la desesperación y la intranquilidad en la que viven los personajes. Cuando la vi por primera vez no pude evitar pensar «¿Cómo estos chicos pueden vivir así?», pero ese es el primer paso de visibilización al que nos obliga el cine, realmente, y es triste, hay mucha gente que vive así, y a pesar de que no hay estándares morales, tampoco hay maldad primitiva que evite que sintamos cuando ellos sienten. ¡Enhorabuena Hernández Cordón!

Veánla mientras está en Netflix :)

INTERVIEW - Julio Hernández Cordón : "Les nouvelles générations sont les moteurs du changement"

En salles le 20 mars prochain, Cómprame un revólver s’annonce comme un conte moderne et violent dans un Mexique aux prises avec ses démons. Rencontre avec son réalisateur, Julio Hernández Cordón, qui parvient à mélanger personnel, réel et fiction pour un résultat éruptif

Cómprame un revólver est un film très personnel. Depuis combien de temps l’aviez-vous en tête ? Comment est née l’idée ?

C’est avant tout une histoire de paternité, une paternité imparfaite, certes. Mais le personnage aime sa fille et parvient à s’occuper d’elle. Lors de la première représentation de mon premier film Te prometo anarquía, j’avais été approché par un important producteur mexicain qui voulait travailler avec moi. Je lui ai répondu que je voulais réaliser un film qui mêlerait Mad Max, Mark Twain, Peter Pan, le baseball, le trafic de drogue et même La Nuit du Chasseur, en transposant tout cela dans un Mexique contemporain.

Qui sont ces cartels de narcos que vous montrez dans le film ? Pourriez-vous nous en dire plus sur leur fonctionnement, ce qu’ils recherchent, etc. ?

Ce sont des narcos moyens. Une sorte de force brute. Le narco de mon film est inspiré de Tina Turner (Mad Max) et je cherchais un personnage d’un genre ambigu. On décrit généralement les narcos comme des super machos ; ce qui n’est pas vrai. L’acteur qui joue le capo montre une sensualité androgyne. Les autres narcos du film traînent plutôt dans la salle de boxe de Hermosillo, Sonora.

Dans le film, Huck porte un masque ou est habillée en garçon pour éviter d’être kidnappée par les cartels. Pourriez-vous nous en dire plus sur les relations de ce cartel avec les femmes et sur la violence que ces femmes doivent subir ?

Les narcos ne trafiquent pas que de la drogue. La plupart des gens qui travaillent pour eux sont quasiment réduits en esclavage. Lorsque les trafiquants ont besoin de main d’œuvre, ils font des rafles. Ils forcent les gens à travailler pour eux ; il existe une sorte d’esclavage au Mexique du fait du trafic de drogue. Ils font aussi le commerce des esclaves blancs, l’extorsion de fonds, la vente d’organes. Au Mexique, des femmes sont kidnappées et assassinées depuis de nombreuses années et personne ne fait rien. On parle de trafics, de films porno sadiques, dans quelles proportions, je l’ignore. La situation de harcèlement et de violence au Mexique est malsaine. Le film tente d’exposer ce problème et son impunité.

Il s’agit également et principalement d’un film sur l’enfance. Pourquoi ce choix ? Pourquoi était-il si important pour vous de vous concentrer sur les enfants ?

Parce que j’ai des filles et que je veux que le Mexique soit un meilleur pays pour elles. Mais je crois que les véritables agents du changement sont les nouvelles générations. C’est pour cela que j’ai toujours voulu être un enfant perdu de Peter Pan, jouer avec Tom Sawyer ou appartenir à la tribu des enfants du Seigneur des mouches.

Votre propre fille joue le personnage principal du film. Était-ce une façon de rendre le film encore plus personnel ?

Oui, c’est un film sur la paternité et je voulais montrer aussi comment une fille est maternelle avec son père. Ma fille est maternelle avec moi. J’essaie de mélanger le documentaire à la fiction. En tant que parent, j’ai l’intention ou l’idée de créer des moments privilégiés avec mes filles.

La musique joue également un rôle important.

Mon intention première était d’utiliser uniquement du dub et du rocksteady. Je cherchais une musique qui n’appartienne pas au désert, qui engendre des émotions contraires. J’en ai parlé avec Alberto Torres, le compositeur de la BO du film. J’avais pris pour habitude de passer une chanson de Syd Barrett pendant que j’écrivais le film et j’aime la fragilité qu’il génère.

Il y a apparemment peu de place pour l’espoir dans votre film. Êtes-vous pessimiste pour les générations futures au Mexique et en Amérique centrale ?

Je ne pense pas que la fin du film soit optimiste à mes yeux. Je crois que les nouvelles générations sont les moteurs du changement, mais il leur appartient de prendre conscience de tout cela et de comprendre qu’elles peuvent engendrer des changements.

New Post has been published on https://www.madpicks.com/sports/mlb/ranking-15-opening-day-matchups-around-baseball/

Ranking the 15 Opening Day matchups around baseball

Opening Day is when the aces come out from their ace caves. Which starting-pitcher matchup is the best?

The mythos of the Opening Day starter appeals to me. Oh, how it appeals to me. It’s everything there is to love about baseball: Arbitrary designations, arguments about those designations, talented baseball men, that Opening Day smell, and a chance to laugh at the less fortunate teams around baseball. When teams announce their Opening Day starters, I am so in.

With that in mind, it’s time to rank all of these Opening Day matchups. While baseball doesn’t have a true, pure opening day anymore, with some teams cordoned off for a special Sunday schedule, we still get 15 of these hand-picked duels, with every team in baseball saying, “This is the best we have, unless we’re dealing with injuries. Or maybe a general organizational malaise that will spread across generations.”

These are the 15 Opening Day starting-pitcher matchups, ranked:

15. Ricky Nolasco vs. Kendall Graveman (Angels at A’s)

This will mark Nolasco’s 28th year in Major League Baseball, yet this is his first Opening Day start. And, no, I’m not looking that up. Feels true, though.

Nolasco was excellent for the Angels for 11 starts after they acquired him, though his overall season was kind of a drag (4.42 ERA, 93 ERA+). He has the third-highest ERA of any starter with 50 starts or more since 2014, and the two pitchers with worse ERAs are a non-roster invitee (Kyle Kendrick) and someone who’s out of baseball (Tim Lincecum).

Graveman is a perfectly competent starter who’s in this spot because of injury (Sonny Gray) and because the A’s understandably don’t want to shove a second-year player like Sean Manaea in the Opening Day slot.

14. Jeremy Hellickson vs. Scott Feldman (Phillies at Reds)

I used to play baseball with a guy who played with a guy who became the Opening Day starter for the Reds. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to update my Twitter bio, because that sounds really important.

This isn’t No. 15 because Hellickson was kinda sorta okay last year — roughly what Nolasco did with the Angels, but more consistently spread out over the entire year. This still doesn’t have an Opening Day feel to it. And if this matchup happened on May 28, you know there would still be about 12 or 13 more interesting matchups.

13. Jon Gray vs. Junior Guerra (Rockies at Brewers)

Junior Guerra is one of baseball’s best stories. Dude pitched in Spain. Spain. Like, not even Italy or in a honkbal league. SPAIN.

Guerra made a name in Europe during the 2010 season, when he dominated the Spanish Division de Honor, pitching for CBS Sant Boi. He had an 11-1 record with an ERA of 0.89 in 17 games. He struck out 122 in 91 innings, while allowing just 47 hits.

Here come Sant Boi. This is a very good baseball story. That doesn’t mean I want to watch him pitch more than Stephen Strasburg, but don’t make fun.

Jon Gray is a big, strong, pitchery pitcher. That’s a compliment. He got his hair at the Noah Syndergaard Outlet Store, and he’s a solid breakout pick for 2017. This is a better matchup than you think.

12. Edinson Volquez vs. Stephen Strasburg (Marlins at Nationals)

Strasburg isn’t just fun to watch: He’s fun to speculate about and read too much into when he struggles. There might not be an ace-type in baseball that’s better for concern-trolling, which means you’re guaranteed a good time out, regardless of what he does. Also, he’s excellent at pitching and stuff, which counts for a lot. Even though this should be Max Scherzer’s spot, it’s not like we’re suffering too much, here.

Volquez is a known quantity, and even though his 2016 was lousy, he’s still probably fine. Good enough, at least, that he won’t drag Strasburg down too much in this ranking.

11. Marco Estrada vs. Kevin Gausman (Blue Jays at Orioles)

Another surprisingly compelling matchup, but mostly for baseball nerds. Gausman didn’t get enough credit for putting up a 3.61 ERA in Camden Yards in a homer-happy season (his 123 ERA+ tells a more complete story), he’s really here because Chris Tillman is out. That’s okay, though. I like watching Gausman just as much.

Estrada has never cracked 200 innings in a season, but he has had the lowest hits-allowed rate in the American League for two straight years. A strong infield defense helps with that, sure, but he’s still a quality pitcher, and he has been for years. Not bad for a guy the Nationals once waived to make room for Tyler Walker.

10. Danny Duffy vs. Ervin Santana (Royals at Twins)

I spent a lot of time making fun of the Ervin Santana signing. He has been a very consistent starter for many years, and I would like to apologize to him, the Twins organization, and my family because he’s kind of good.

Danny Duffy is better, of course, one of last year’s breakout stars. On a watchability scale, he’s in the second tier of baseball’s best, pushing his way into the top tier. Look at this guy:

9. Jhoulys Chacin vs. Clayton Kershaw (Padres at Dodgers)

Of course, this is the most watchable pitcher in baseball — one of the greatest pure talents in baseball history — so it’s hard to rank him anywhere near the bottom. On the other hand, he’s facing Jhoulys Chacin, who is the reason I had to put (Team at Team) next to all the matchups. That’ll ding them in the ranking.

Chacin was really, really good in both 2011 and 2013, so it’s not quite fair to consider him a random journeyman. On the other hand, he wasn’t very effective with the Angels last year, to the point where the Angels were like, nah, we can do better.

That guy is an Opening Day starter. It takes more than Clayton Danged Kershaw to make up for that.

(Padres win, 8-2.)

8. Masahiro Tanaka vs. Chris Archer (Yankees at Rays, Sunday)

And now we have reached the tipping point, where all of the matchups become Unambiguously Good Pitching Matchups. Archer struggled with the home run ball and almost lost 20 games somehow, but you all know he’s still great.

Tanaka finished seventh in the Cy Young voting, making 31 starts and staying healthy all year. Not bad for a guy who was contemplating Tommy John surgery a couple years ago and had surgery to remove bone spurs before the start of last season.

This is the kind of matchup that could be No. 1 next year. Of course, both of them might be on the Dodgers, but that’s a minor concern.

7. Felix Hernandez vs. Dallas Keuchel (Mariners at Astros)

Cy Young vs. Cy Young. Just, uh, ignore the 2016 season, which wasn’t too hot for either of them.

This is a great matchup, though, because both of their teams are desperately counting on them to be excellent again, so everyone will read way too much into their first outings. It’s almost like a Groundhog Day of first games, where if they see their shadows and pitch seven strong innings, both teams will have five months of summer. If they combine to give up 12 earned runs, the panic will be thick enough to spread on a slice of French bread.

There is nothing better than smooth, creamy panic on a slice of French bread. But these guys are probably going to have strong seasons, so you’ll have to look elsewhere.

6. Gerrit Cole vs. Rick Porcello (Pirates at Red Sox)

My biases come into play here because I automatically thought, “Alright, Gerrit Cole!” That was followed by “Huh. Rick Porcello.” This is because I watch more National League games, I’m sure, but it’s also because I missed the entire Porcello story last year. Dude won the Cy Young. That seems good.

There are instant demerits, though, for being the necessary interleague Opening Day matchup. This is not a classic rivalry. Or a rivalry at all. Also, there are demerits for me wanting to watch Chris Sale instead, which isn’t odd.

Still, Cole vs. Porcello is an excellent, compelling matchup, and it’s the kind that would make you turn on a Pirates/Red Sox game in July. If this is your Opening Day pick, you’ve chosen wisely.

5. Julio Teheran vs. Noah Syndergaard (Braves at Mets)

Syndergaard pitched once vs. the Braves last year. ONCE. Clayton Kershaw made just 21 starts last year, and he still pitched five times against the Giants. So the Braves deserve this. They deserve to see Syndergaard three times in April. Not that I’m bitter.

Teheran is a fine talent, and if you want to move this up the power rankings, go right ahead. This isn’t a seven- or eight-way tie at the top, but that doesn’t mean there are any wrong answers, here.

4. Madison Bumgarner vs. Zack Greinke (Giants at Diamondbacks, Sunday)

Last year, this would have been the best matchup, and it wouldn’t have been close. It was a rough year for Greinke, though, and it didn’t get better this spring:

Greinke’s game-by-game velocity including four appearances in Spring Training this year. Not great. pic.twitter.com/BYb1uWijhG

— Kyle Boddy (@drivelinebases) March 25, 2017

I still believe. But a 33-year-old pitcher with diminished velocity and his worst FIP in a decade is a pitcher that should scare you. This matchup is near the top because of name recognition and star power, but your mileage may vary.

Bumgarner, for his part, had what might have been the only good spring training he’s ever had. This makes me worried that he’ll struggle mightily in April, but that’s because I’m a strange, cynical man. He sure looks ready.

3. Jon Lester vs. Carlos Martinez (Cubs at Cardinals, Sunday)

Carlos Martinez might be the most underrated starter in baseball. His nickname is Tsunami, and he should just go by it at all times, like Rock Raines on the 1989 Topps.

Guys, I’m Rock now. Thanks for understanding.

If Martinez does that with “Tsunami,” he’s talked about in the same breath as Chris Sale and Corey Kluber, like he should be. As is, it takes some gentle prodding and a reminder that he’s an extraordinary pitcher to justify a ranking like this.

Say, how did he get the nickname, “Tsunami?”

I’ve had a lot of ups and downs on my road to the Big Leagues, but for the sake of this blog let’s just say there was a WAVE of adversity.

I don’t get it.

2. Justin Verlander vs. Jose Quintana (Tigers at White Sox)

Last year’s Cy Young should-be vs. a walking trade rumor. I love this matchup so. The contrast in styles is fun, too, with Verlander the classic, strong right-handed ace, and Quintana the left-handed control monster (though not exactly a soft-tosser). It would be a lot cooler of a matchup if the White Sox were any good, but at least they are when Quintana pitches.

There are fewer than 10 “Of course we’re starting this guy” matchups on this list. This is the most obvious one, really. The cliff after these two is steep, but at least we’ll get the best of the best on Opening Day.

1. Corey Kluber vs. Yu Darvish (Indians at Rangers)

Never forget:

That is still one of the greatest baseball GIFs ever made, and it works so well because Yu Darvish is a wonder. He’s one of the most delightful pitchers to watch, and of course he’s starting Opening Day. He deserves it.

Corey Kluber is made out of gears and sprockets, a steampunk version of a mechanical pitcher, and his silent consistency doesn’t take away from his exhilarating stuff. He just goes out there and pitches better than the other guy.

UNLESS THE OTHER GUY IS YU DARVISH. Maybe. I mean, that’s the point. We’ll see.

Those are the best Opening Day duels, from Nolasco/Graveman to Kluber/Darvish. The most important part is that baseball is back, and we get to watch it. Here, have some Cy Young winners and assorted aces. This’ll help make up for the dumb winter, which is dumb every year.

Cómprame un revólver (2018) Director: Julio Hernández Cordón, Actores: Matilde Hernández, Rogelio Sosa, Sostenes Rojas, Ángel Leonel Corral, Wallace Pereyda, Ángel Rafael Yanez.

Estrenada en la Quincena de Realizadores y ahora en cines, Cómprame un revólver es la nueva película del visceral director mexicano Julio Hernández Cordón (director de Te prometo anarquía, a la que dedicaré un post), que vuelve a la pantalla con un trabajo tremendo, genial y se convierte en una luz para el cine nacional.

En un México dominado en absoluto por el narcotráfico, Huck es una niña que vive con su papá, que mantiene limpio un estadio de béisbol para diversión de los narcotráficantes. En este México (que lamentablemente no dista de nuestra realidad) Huck está encadenada a su destino por ser mujer, a pesar de que su padre intenta que no se sepa, pues ser mujer en este México significa ser arrebatada de su familia. Huck tiene amigos: Ángel, Rafa y Tom, y un día, mientras está sentada con Ángel se da cuenta de que le falta un brazo: un capo se lo ha cortado. Entonces empiezan las maquilaciones para intentar recuperarlo, cuando, a la par, una serie de eventos suceden que hacen que la ira del narco se vuelque contra esta pequeña familia, abandonada por todas las fuerzas, dejada a su suerte, en un lugar dejado de la mano de Dios.

Increíblemente buena, conmovedora y un reflejo no muy lejano de la realidad de nuestro país, Cómprame un revólver es una película visceral que hace que te ahogues de impotencia, como solo Hernández Cordón sabe hacer, sus personajes, tan solos, son reflejo de muchos rostros que jamás han estado acompañados. La actuación de Matilde Hernández y Rogelio Sosa merece Arieles, y sin duda sus trabajos a futuro estarán augurados como excelentes. ¡Enhorabuena al cine nacional!
