Advantages: brilliant performance, great story Disadvantages: none
After a tiring day it is refreshment watching a romantic comedy but there are evenings when I need some more touching films. Yesterday I watched When A Man Loves A Woman. It is a drama about a family and although there are several other characters in the film the focus is on this family.
The film was directed by Luis Mandoki. He is a Mexican film director, his most famous films are El Secreto, Message in a Bottle and Angel Eyes. The classification of When A Man Loves A Woman is 15 years and over as it is about handling alcoholism. The film lasts for two hours and is very gripping there is always a twist in the story you wanted to watch.
Although the film was made in 1994 it is still very up to date or probably even more relevant. A lot of families are in these shoes whether they admit it or not. This film shows that alcoholism can be ...
Advantages: Sumptuous arrangments and the voice of Marisa Monte. Disadvantages: 'Rose & Charcoal' is a better album.
on the album is 'Sou Seu Sabia' - a Caetano Veloso ballad that brings the album to a dreamy close.
Although it won the 2001 Latin Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Pop Album, 'Memories, Chronicles and Declarations of Love' is probably not Marisa Monte's strongest album. It doesn't quite reach the heights of the 'Rose & Charcoal (Verde Anil Amarelo Cor De Rosa E Carvão)' album released in 1994 and I certainly wouldn't go as far as some reviewers in describing this album as the "Pet Sounds" of Brazilian pop. Nevertheless, Marisa's suave expressive vocal combined with sumptuous accomplished musical arrangements and neat production by guitarist Arto Lindsay makes this an album very much worth listening to in any location.
