El amor en su lugar

A deeply emotional and affectionate story terrifically acted by truly inspired actors and masterfully directed with nerve, tears and suspense. A truly remarkable surprise and a must see to everyone who loves cinema and specially to those who seek an inspiring reason to live and love. One of the best movies I've seen in a while!

Nice movie, great combination of misse en scene and camera shots, very well directed with elegant tracking shots, high angle and low angle shots. The theatre within the audiovisual, the fiction as a weapon in a hostile world.

Love Gets a Room is a masterpiece about love, art, antisemitism, bravery, generosity, and beauty. A jewel that will make you think, laugh, sing, and cry. Written by Rodrigo Cortés & David Safier and directed by Rodrigo, the movie is set at the Warsaw ghetto in January 1942 (six months before the deportations to the extermination camps, mainly Treblinka -Große Aktion).

Love Gets a Room includes a play inside the movie: excerpts (originally written in Polish, translated into English) of Jerzy Jurandot's play Milosc szuka mieszkania, which premiered at the Femina Theatre in the Warsaw ghetto either on October 29, 1941 (according to Holocaust survivor Mary Berg, see The Diary of Mary Berg. Growing Up in the Warsaw Ghetto, pp. 101-102) or on January 16, 1942 (see Barbara Engelking & Jacek Leociak, The Warsaw Ghetto: A Guide to the Perished City).

The cinematography (Rafael García) of Love Gets a Room and the music (Víctor Reyes) will take your breath away. With a stellar cast: Clara Rugaard, Ferdia Walsh-Peelo, Henry Goodman, Anastasia Hille, Valentina Bellè, Mark Ryder, Freya Parks, Jack Roth, Magnus Krepper and our beautiful, amazing and talented Dalit as little Sarah. Bravo to all!

Love Gets a Room is a homage to the power of art, to all the victims who perished in the Holocaust, to bravery and to love. 10/10.

The film is good, despite the fact that I am not a fan of such films, but I really liked it. The plot fascinates, it is immediately clear that the writers have tried. I bet 10/10. Clara you are super, you played great.

It's 1942 in the Warsaw Ghetto. This is a behind the scene of a play which a group of actors are struggling to perform. Lead actress Stefcia (Clara Rugaard) is struggling to survive like everyone else. Two guys are fighting over her with an escape plan swirling over them. Out of the blue, a Nazi commander walks in and sits in the audience.

My initial take is that this is an askew angle at a familiar picture. The Warsaw Ghetto is a familiar setting and lots of this has been done before. I don't think that I've seen a story about a play being performed in that place. Of course, there is going to be something about the art of acting saving the soul of humanity. That is the other familiar part of the movie. Nevertheless, I am still taken by that sentimental tripe. It is something we hope is true and this movie gets me in the end.
