The straight champ of the motion-picture show is cinematographer Barbara Alvarez ( The Second Mother).Utamacould be broken down fool away by shot and hung in a museum . The full shots , in particular , are absolutely stunning . She films neat and empty view with a exclusive character in the center of the build , afford the audience the sensation of being at the edge of the mankind . In very elementary shots where a lineament is just walk in a straight line , she use a building and the alleys on either side to frame a perfect line of three identically sized images , not unlike the proportion associated with Wes Anderson films . Alvarez best herself with a combining of both styles in another pure third shot , this time with a thread river as its centerpiece and women in attractively colored clothing on either side .
Utamaonly features three primary actor and at times feels more like a play than a movie . It take on place over miles of land , yet feels passing contained and , at times , claustrophobic . While the film has clear themes andopinions on spherical warming , that impression is express in one man ’s desire to never leave his home . As the film progresses , the full reality of what it entail to live near these beautiful backdrops comes into focus . Viewers will go from wanting to visit the set to beg the chief character to result . That emotional rollercoaster is play perfectly , and abide characters shed light on that smell of being stuck in a big , empty place .
Utamais effortless in near every regard . The performing will not blow one aside , but it ’s also attractively naturalistic . Calcina and Quispe ’s carrying out are understated , but powerful . Choque and Quispe have such a chemistry that get even more life to the film . It appears in a individual shot — Choque ’s Clever is tell his grandmother about his biography , and it ’s heartwarming . Similarly , Calcina looks on in the same scene , and without say a watchword , call forth heartrending obstinance in the face of being left out of a wholesome family moment .
No part ofUtamafeels fabricated . The costumes are a part of the environment ; the tv camera work is as simple as it could be , but what is in front of the camera is lift by a lovely still . Alvarez turns Bolivia into a serial of portraits and Grisi is the thoroughgoing conduit to tell such a specific tale of love and biography .
