Scovato per caso in biblioteca, incuriosita dal fatto che fosse molto stropicciato, quindi letto da molte persone, è stato il primo che ho scelto dal bottino libresco che mi sono portata a casa dalla biblioteca. Palenzuela, Fernando S. (16 September 2022). "Aura Garrido ('Un asunto privado'): "Marina y Amelia Folch no se parecen, de carácter son totalmente opuestas" ". FormulaTV. Quattro donne con storie diverse alle spalle che in qualche modo si trovano a condividere le loro vite in un particolare momento. Ognuna con un proprio carattere, con pregi e difetti, con punti deboli e di forza. Ognuna con desideri e sogni da realizzare. Ognuna con la propria personale ricerca e visione dell’amore. Now, for some bad: (1) the show is full of anachronisms (as others have mentioned), normally not a big problem but in this case you start to notice them and they become a bit intrusive; (2) the main character actively and annoyingly avoids opportunities to reveal the bad guy on many occasions; (3) several times she switches from "this person must be the murderer" to "I'm going off alone with this person to find a clue" in a matter of seconds; (4) she has superhuman powers of recovery from serious injuries; (5) the ultimate motivation for the murders is not at all convincing.

Un asunto privado', la serie grabada en Vigo y Pontevedra, ya tiene fecha de estreno". El Español (in Spanish). 23 June 2022 . Retrieved 25 September 2022. Though Marina is the one with the natural gift for police work, it is her brother Arturo, played by Gorka Otxoa, who is stepping into their late father’s sizable shoes and who is being appointed as the new chief of police. When the time comes to rattle through thanking family members in his acceptance speech, all are present and correct – except Marina. She’s off to the harbour to collect her contraband delivery of smuggled detective magazines and periodicals. As ever, Hector covers up for her. But once she is there, she discovers a murdered woman and she also disturbs the killer – the two fight, and he gets away, but, not before Marina can swipe a patch of his coat. The game is afoot.The creators of the series, Gema R. Neira and Teresa Fernández Valdés, allow themselves to dream and decide to ignore reality so that we plunge into a visually appealing mystery series thanks to the imaginative wardrobe and hairdressing department and topped off by Vanessa Garde’s musical mixes, which help create the right setting.

The staging, in this sense, sometimes seems very unnatural due to its excessive theatricality. Everything is too high and clean, impinging on certain air of unreality that accompanies a ton of chronological licenses. Spain, at the end of the 40s, was immersed in Francoist repression and a woman with the freedom and cheekiness of Marina Quiroga would be inconceivable. A Private Affair has a scintillating pace that never goes lollygagging, even during emotional sequences. Despite being placed in the 1940s, it doesn’t feel archaic. It throws open a mystery in the first episode without wasting time on fluff, thereby allowing you to immerse in its idea. Invigorating It’s not that the horrors of the civil war are ignored: there’s a dreamlike scene showing the bodies of a peasant family massacred outside their home, from which a lone survivor, a little girl, gets up and goes inside. Paolo Taviani has said that the episode was a true story told to him during the making of “The Night of the Shooting Stars,” yet it’s inserted here in such a hermetic manner that what should act as a powerful antiwar statement turns into merely an oddly inserted appendage. L'autrice non si limita a raccontare solo storie d'amore, d'amicizia e d'inganni ma è anche l'occasione per descrivere la vita di un soldato e in particolar modo cosa si prova ad essere la moglie o la compagna di uno di loro (una vita per niente invidiabile).

What Is A Private Affair About?

Reviewed at Rome Film Festival (official selection), Oct. 27, 2017 (Also in Toronto Film Festival — Masters; Busan Film Festival — World Cinema; Tokyo Film Festival — World Focus.) Original title: “Una questione private” The writers have done a great job in preparing a fulfilling tale. Though I initially expected the series to explore a different case in each episode, it instead went on to focus on one religiously, which works well. Additionally, the show manages to avoid dull moments for the most part. Le protagoniste, infatti, sono Sam, Dani, Abby e Meaghan: quattro donne molte diverse caratterialmente, fisicamente, origini e vissuto ma allo stesso tempo hanno qualcosa in comune (un uomo e l'esercito). A Private Affair is split between being told by all the women over different time periods of their lives. It shows how they came to be and the road they took to get there. In the end, I learned an effective new method of carrying excessive luggage and I also solved the Mysterious Case of The Missing Station. Like the dog that did not bark in the night, Marleybone turned out not to be missing at all.
