La mitad del cielo

Marvellous and magic film about the rising of a woman (Angela Molina) in Franco era from her little poor village to become the owner of a fashion restaurant.. It has also a supernatural inner plot, like a Celtic fairy tale, through the role of this woman's grandma and daughter. Alcaine's cinematography is beautiful, and the work of all the cast is excellent. The script and the direction develops nicely the story as well, with amazing elipsis. It is necessary to emphasize also the work of Fernando Fernan Gómez, as superb as always, in the role of the nice and rich old man who helps the main character.Fernan Gómez wasn't a usual actor. He used to give to his roles his own personality as the monster of the acting he was. And in this film his role is also very charming, because despite he feels deeply attracted by this woman and has an affair With her, also let her to be free and want her happiness. And what can i say about Angela Molina work? As in most other films she shriek and squeal a lot with her high voice. In any other actress it would be ridiculous. But in her is a part of her acting that always fits perfectly!!
