Metric

Continued from page

Salazar has crafted quite a film here. There are so many disparate elements coming into play, so many different styles of cinematography, that reading the subtitles almost takes a back seat to figuring out what the heck is happening. Seriously, one illtimed blink, and suddenly Marieta is singing Madonna songs and people are dancing for no apparent reason.

The stark contrasts between the grit and grime of the real world and the dazzling colors of Marieta's dreams are a metaphor for the dismal life she has, of which she is trying to make the best, and the glory she believes she will achieve once she is "fully"

a woman.

Salazar picked a winner with Cervera, who can sing an array of styles and acts her role as if born to it.

After watching this funny, quirky film, one would have to say that should Pedro Almodóvar ever need a successor, Salazar is the most obvious choice.
