A family history of

Canada. Twentysomething twins, Simon and Jeanne, are witnessed in a few days the health of his mother, Nawal Marwan, cracks completely, so you just dying engulfed in the most complete and baffling silence. When the notary family friend Nawal's will deliver their children, they learn that their father is dead, as they thought-and also have a brother. The amazement and disappointment are great, as well as difficult to digest, because Jeanne and Simon that news is the straw that broke the camel in the anomalous behavior of her mother, who always acted with them and yet oddly distant. Now the latest Nawal will be buried before their child is looking for his brother and father, and they delivered a letter to each. Jeanne, who will assume responsibility for initiating the investigation, to which he moved to the Middle East with the intention of unraveling the story of his mother.

tough and powerful film Canadian Written and directed by Denis Villeneuve Quebec, from a Lebanese play of Wajdi Mouawad . The result is a terrible film, in line with others who also speak of the consequences of war, as Go and live. This brings us a story of pain, revenge and suffering, but the good hand of Villeneuve does not explicitly show palatable to the most terrible passages of the argument. Things can be said without thereby having to take his eyes off the screen, and that is appreciated. Nawal's story is a bang and introduces us to a time-the 60 and 70 - of wars and massacres in East Medium, where religious and nationalist factions destroyed the lives of thousands of people. But there is no good and bad - "the situation is too complex to simplify Manichean poles," says the director, but a spiral of evil that only creates more evil and can only end when love "break the wire anger ", as one of the characters. And this is ultimately what does this dense film, we realize that violence is not solving anything, and just adds more pain to pain.

The movie moves at a slow pace, with plans and long dialogues, shot with classical elements and slowly unwinds the skein of the history of Nawal, who is also the story of their children. For that Villeneuve splits the story in several episodes as the characters in question or place and time where they occur, so the story is not told linearly, but goes from present to past and vice versa. While sometimes baffled the swing, the set works perfectly and is certainly a wise choice to a narrative that could be done perhaps too harsh.

The performances are wonderful, especially by del lado femenino, con una inconmensurable  Lubna Azabal  en el papel de Nawal, cuyo rostro pone los pelos de punta en escenas clave como la del autobús, y con la joven  Mélissa Désormeaux-Poulin , que también brilla con luz propia como Jeanne. El film fue elegido para representar a Canadá en los Oscar.


Incendies - Trailer subtitulado



 EL film director Denis Villeneuve

"I wanted the authenticity of Arab culture"

The filmmaker Denis Villeneuve.

After collecting three awards at the Seminci of Valladolid, and having been nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Film, arrives today Incendies English rooms. Its director, Canadian Denis Villeneuve, explains the difficulties of adapting a tragedy set in the Middle East, based on a hit play. The work of Canadian
Denis Villeneuve greatly relies on the ethical implications of the stories, in their ability to alter the foundations of the story the characters undergoing forces greater than them, carrying them along a more disruptive effect. Also known to give them a suitable covering those stories that always come together in dramatic excess, so as to present the tragedy play for cinematic verisimilitude. In Polythecnique, his third feature unprecedented in English rooms, which dramatized the slaughter of the Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal, 1989-a misogynist disturbed that killed 14 students before opening fire on himself, "Villeneuve chose to shoot in a dirty white and black, closely following the killer (a bit like Gus Van Sant in Elephant), relating to anti-feminist reflections off left written in his suicide letter. The film raised a stir in Canada, which still carries the trauma of probably the most horrible tragedy that the country has experienced.

In the Middle East
No discussions have been less awakened his latest work, Fires, adaptation of the hit play of the Lebanese namesake Wajdi Mouawad. Especially in the heat of the Arab revolution, this family drama historical content about the consequences of the massacres in the Middle East, the film takes us to an Arab country vague in the 60's and 70's, when the effects of religious and nationalist divisions were so devastating, acquired even greater significance. "The situation is too complex to simplify Manichean poles," said Villeneuve. And finding that balance, dealing with the suffering of his characters without being carried away by emotional pornography, is where the film actually plays artistic success or failure.

-face of a material so hard and so complex historical implications, the challenge was to ensure total authenticity in relation to the reality of Arab culture. To do this required a lot of research has been much on my part as the actors. In the beginning, when I thought about adapting the work of Wajdi [Mouawad], did not seem a good idea that a Quebecer and I made a movie about the immense impact of conflict in the Middle East. Not good for a filmmaker to talk about something that is unknown, and I knew neither Arabic culture and the reality of war. Therefore, it has been a film that has required a long process of research and learning.

- Mouawad Did it help in this process?
"Yes and no. I put two conditions: that I collected all of history, and that would leave me alone because I had no time to devote to the film. He said he could take the title and change, a character, an entire sequence and remove it wanted, it could even invent scenes that need. I was very encouraged. What got me the work is to address the identity conflict of the characters through the family, and while it worked as a metaphor for the situation in the Middle East. In the film I tried to give a universal value to these conflicts of identity, because I feel comfortable in the field of family dramas, and not limited only to the reality of a country.

hatred Heritage Incendies
's argument, which was nominated for an Oscar for best foreign film and picked up three awards at last Seminci is really devastating. Start with the death of Nawal Marwan, a few weeks after he entered a state of silence when a man identified by chance in a pool. The investigation of the origins of this trauma is undertaking his twin sons Simon and Jeanne, born in Quebec, where his mother's will give them the news of having a father and a brother who have never known. Nawal's dying wish that their child goes looking for his brother and father and they delivered a letter to each. Jeanne is responsible and moved to the Middle East to start the investigation and unravel the terrible story of his mother. In the convoluted film's episodic structure, with jumps in the time to count in parallel the process of investigating the story of Jeanne and her mother thirty years ago, is compounded by the difficulty of providing humanity to characters who work as actors in a Shakespearean tragedy, symbols of a conflict and a blood feuds.

"The writing process was really hard. Valérie Beaugrand-Champagne worked with me as a kind of script consultant. When reading an early version that I sent to the producer, told me: 'Congratulations! Since you have only 80% of the work. " Made me look 18 times the script to get real characters, not just ideas or representations. Regarding the structure of the film, I think is very revealing because the investigation of the daughter and the history of the mother are not an exact equivalence, but there is some resonance and dramatic continuity between story lines. The merit is not mine. This was already well in play, which I loved dramatic structure, as prepares you for a truly surprising outcome, so I decided to keep the same idea. "

- Why place the conflict in a country vague?
-was also well in the play. I was tempted to change and indeed there is a version of the script set in Beirut, but I realized that it was very easy to get wrong, and I understood why the author had made that decision. Being more specific would have meant taking sides, and is something that is not wanted.

"But that kind of abstraction also carries some risks, as they accuse the film of a certain cowardice, a certain ambiguity ...
"It is impossible to take sides with one or the other. And Wajdi also told me that even he, being Lebanese, was unable to provide a definitive and clear view about their country. Narrative purposes, this option also proposes many questions. What culture are we talking about? I got to shoot with no questions and answers. This film is inspired by the collaboration between Jordanian and Lebanese who have worked there. It is they who have pointed me what I had to do. We have created a sort of imaginary region, a kind of maelstrom, an area of \u200b\u200bsouthern Lebanon bordering northern Jordan. Clothing, food, all the rites, are inspired in that area, but the Arabic accent is different. I felt that this proposal was accepted by those who were working on the film, so that the story was extrapolated to other countries in the region.

synopsis
In all his novels, Melania Mazzucco (Roma, 1966) leads to the edge of reality of fiction. His narrative works impress with literary precision. In his book "She so loved" again uses the fictional reality to tell the life of one of the most fascinating and original women of the twentieth century literature. Annemarie Zchwarzenbach (1908-1942) passed through the world like an angel devastating. The novel opens with his death at 34 years for a simple fall on a bicycle. Destination unexpected for someone who tried to kill himself several times without success. Her slim figure, confused with a man, reveals the sadness that always accompanied it. The novel follows the young millionaire from his early years in Berlin in 1930, where he began to frequent the Artists Guild. His overwhelming personality aroused feelings of admiration and envy. Addicted to morphine, was an archaeologist, a reporter and photographer, touring countless countries in the Middle East.

The play is faithful to the broad lines the life of the writer. Since his relationship with a mother who failed in the attempt to fold her daughter resolutely conservative traditions, to his devoted friendship with the family of Thomas Mann, whose children, Erika and Klaus, in Annemarie cause obsessive admiration. Joining them will be a famous trio of indeterminate sexuality. In love with Erika, will be the relationship with Klaus in the biography which acquires greater scope. From his misfortunes affairs with women traveling with their terrible stays in psychiatric hospitals, suffering from a schizophrenic inmate unconvincing, Mazzucco leaves no detail to escape the life of the journalist. Perfectly recreates the atmosphere tense Annemarie wars in which, along with Mann, of Jewish origin, will begin a work of resistance from different countries.

volatile, mysterious, noble, asexual, terrible, almost transparent, Annemarie was an unattainable woman. "Would continue to wander, without stopping, as a migratory bird that flies all domains without ever recognized any of them," from one bank to another world, without ever finding his house, getting rid of a form of existence so restless and wandering bordering on madness "(p. 227). Aroused admiration is still alive among the minds to continue to inspire artists biographies like Mazzucco, who has managed to graft on an admirable novel research of high precision. His narrative detail place it in the top of the scale of contemporary writers.

Annemarie Schwarzenbach

Annemarie Schwarzenbach


writer and photojournalist Annemarie Schwarzenbach document social conditions in Afghanistan to Alabama and was one of the women pioneers of the profession. Her fiction reflected the tormented attachments and recurring loneliness that affected their lives breve.Schwarzenbach privilege was born in May 23, 1908 in Bock, near Zurich, Switzerland. His father, Alfred, was a wealthy textile industrialist, her mother, Renée, a prominent lady, was a granddaughter of Otto von Bismarck, first chancellor of Alemania.Mientras that Schwarzenbach was little, her mother took out a long term relationship with the opera singer Emmy Krüger, which may have catalyzed Annemarie awareness of its own attractions for women.


The myth that was created around his figure is summarized in the phrase that said Thomas Mann it:
"If you were a boy tended to be declared excecionalmente beautiful"
Annemarie inclinations to dress and act as a child school pictures show the adoption of the juvenile behavior that are subject to whims of others throughout their vida.Schwarzenbach entered the University of Zurich in 1927 for studies in history and literature. At this time, she also began to write fiction.
Annemarie Schwarzenbach, Sonja Sekula and Klaus Mann - Engadin - Switzerland 1936
Three years later he met Erika and Klaus Mann, the child prodigy novelist Thomas Mann, and began a relationship with Erika. He traveled throughout Europe with the brothers and frequented the artistic circles of Berlin and gay bars with them. She also began to use morphine, which led to a lifelong addiction and periodic detoxification clinics.

Schwarzenbach In 1933 he traveled to Spain with the photographer Marianne Breslauer, one of the many tours that provide material for his career. Breslauer described it as "a strange mixture of men and women." A frequent theme in the portraits of Breslauer, Schwarzenbach was an expert in sulky poses androgyny still retain their appeal.
His strange and heartbreaking beauty that Thomas Mann was forever christened as "the angel devastated", but its strength also proved devastadora.El rise of the Nazis ended the Berlin cultural exuberance. The Mann took refuge in Switzerland, but are gaining ground fascist politics as well. Erika could not tolerate Schwarzenbach emotional ties to their parents, who were right National Front as good for business and broke off their relationship. In 1934, however, accompanied by Klaus Mann Schwarzenbach to Moscow to attend the first Congress of Writers.




After
of a suicide attempt, probably instigated by his conflict with his family, Schwarzenbach traveled to Persia (Iran), where, in 1935, she married French diplomat Claude Clarac. It was a deal of utilities (both were homosexual), and always helpful with a diplomatic passport Schwarzenbach. However, shortly after his marriage fell into a depression, compounded by a scandal over his affair with the Turkish ambassador's daughter Teherán.Durante this period he wrote in Persian Tod (Death in Persia), not published until 1998, an autobiographical novel It then elaborated in Das Glückliche (The Happy Valley, 1940), a curious blend of travel writing, autobiography and critical comments.

Schwarzenbach In 1937 he joined the personal and professional American photographer Barbara Hamilton-Wright. His travels to communities affected by depression in New York through the Appalachians as a result of the Deep South a series of scathing articles in the European press in the U.S. race and class relations, illustrated with photographs impresionantes.Entre travel to America, Schwarzenbach reported on the rise of fascism in Eastern Europe and was highly critical of Swiss neutrality.
In 1939, after another personal crisis, he traveled to Central Asia with the Swiss photojournalist Maillart, who was convinced he could rescue from their addictions Schwarzenbach. That proved to be a lost cause, but the pair produced a richly illustrated documentation of life in the region even though their relationship deteriorated. Maillart told travel later in the memoir How cruel (1986), which Schwarzenbach disguised as "Christina."
"Mother and Daughter" - Renee and Annemarie - the lake in Kilchberg, June 22, 1930. (Alexis Schwarzenbach / Metropolis)

Many of the writings of Schwarzenbach are hybrids that combine elements of literary fiction, poetry and autobiographical.

His first novel, Bernhard Freunde um, has a protagonist gay male. She puts on the ill-fated love obsession of Lyrische Novelle as a heterosexual romance, but later acknowledged that draws on a lesbian relationship. His documentaries are trips to the psyche as well as descriptions of places exóticos.Gran Schwarzenbach part of the writing remained unpublished in his lifetime. In late 1980 a renewal of interest in his work by German scholars and feminists created a series of annotated editions of his fiction and commentary. For those who speak English, subtitled versions of the documentary by Carole Bonstein A Swiss Rebel (2000), the display program Godwin Ternbach Museum exhibition, Annemarie Schwarzenbach: Selected Photographs and Writings, 1933-1940 (2005); extracts of the last translated by Isabel Cole and Chris Schwarzenbach offer the best windows in their life and work.



Schwarzenbach photography from Central Asia provides an accurate record of traditional life that preserves the dignity of the subjects against the harshness of the detention of their environment. His work in America, by contrast, projects the resignation of both sullen blacks and poor whites of human infertility built city streets and areas industriales.Ella perhaps most disturbingly captured the growing threat of fascism Europe through disturbing portrait of the Hitler Youth and the National Socialist officials, smugly confident in their identities grupo.A early Schwarzenbach war returned to the United States, supporting more depressive episodes and a rich history of immigrants convicted von Margo Opel. In New York reconnects with the Mann brothers and through them he met writer Carson McCullers, who fell madly in love with her.

Carson McCullers

Schwarzenbach, intended to rekindle the relationship with Erika Mann, not applicable. Mann, however, was concerned with the legal and financial support of refugees europeos.Para Schwarzenbach political is personal. Economically dependent on their family and wanting to avoid alienation, opposed its intellectual class position through his journalism and other writings. But emotionally, she still wanted and needed his aprobación.Sus fellow expatriates, particularly the brothers Mann, whose policy was clear and had been released activismo anti-fascista, tenía poca paciencia con sus dilemas internos.La noticia de la muerte de su padre y el deterioro de sus relaciones precipitó una crisis emocional en 1940. Después de dos partos institucionales en los EE.UU., Schwarzenbach volvió a Suiza en 1941 y trató de recoger los pedazos en el pueblo montañoso de Engadina.Ella tomó las tareas de presentación de informes en Portugal y África y se reunió con Clarac en Marruecos, antes de regresar a Suiza en 1942. También comenzó una correspondencia regular con McCullers, que había dedicado Reflejos de un ojo dorado (1941) a ella.Si bien en bicicleta a St. Moritz a firmar documentos en su casa en septiembre de 1942 se dio un derrame y sufrió a head injury from which he never recovered. She died on 15 November at the age of photographic subjects 34.Muchos Schwarzenbach seem genuinely rooted in their environment. One is tempted to read this as a longing for his own place in a world that roamed hungrily. That can be a great impression, but after all, she had that effect on people.

Video: Women in history - Juana la Beltraneja

(Madrid February 28, 1462-Lisbon 1530). English Infanta, dethroned queen of Castile and Leon, Queen consort of Portugal relieved of his rank, had to resign treated all his titles and estates, even as a English infanta and Highness, being officially named by Portuguese royal decree, "a Great Lady" to the end of his long life in exile Portugal. It was the only daughter and heiress of Henry IV and his second wife, Queen Juana of Portugal, daughter of Edward of Portugal. Part of the Castilian nobility did not accept it as a biological daughter of the king his father, whom he accused of having forced the queen his wife have a son with his favorite, Beltran de la Cueva
,
first Duke of Alburquerque, although both had solemnly sworn that he had not been. There were suspicions about the impotence of Henry IV and who had previously been married to Blanca of Navarre and the marriage was annulled because it was never consummated. In addition, Henry IV had no sons or his wife or any of her lovers.

Henry IV the Impotent Children

Enrique IV was nicknamed at the time by his opponents
the Powerless
, not so much for not having had children by his first wife, Blanca de Navarra , for the public domain that made the abandonment of their conjugal duties. So when his second wife, Juana of Portugal, gave birth to a child, she was assigned to an alleged adulterous affair of the Queen with one of the monarch's private, Don Beltran de la Cueva, hence is nicknamed the princess as the Beltraneja
few months after birth was sworn in the Courts of Madrid and Princess of Asturias and heir to the kingdom (May 9, 1462
).
A two year old tell the princess during the height of noble revolt against Henry IV, who was charged with unlawful the princess and sided with the king's brother, Prince Alfonso. The king tried to solve the aristocratic revolt by agreeing the marriage of Alfonso with his daughter Jane, well, agreed to proclaim as Prince Alfonso, heir and successor to the kingdom in 1464

Henry IV himself proposed King Alfonso V of Portugal
, shortly before the link with the child Juana Juan, son of Portuguese. Neither project was carried out, and instead the King of Castile second time disinherited her daughter to recognize in the Treaty of the Bulls Guisando as Princess of Asturias, his sister Isabel, provided it Prince to marry him elected. Not long after 1468 and 1469) sought to marry Isabel Alfonso V of Portugal
,
brother of Queen of Castile, and Juana, renewing the old project, with John, the eldest son of Alfonso V, with provided that happened to Juana Isabel if it died without any children. Nor was the project closely.

Curiously, the daughter of King Henry IV, most of his life he lived guarded by the nobility, which had in it a valuable hostage. From 1465 to 1470 the Count of Tendilla guarded, the Mendoza family, the castles of Buitrago del Lozoya and Trijueque From 1470 to 1474, Juan Pacheco at the castle and the castle Escalona

Betrothal with the Duke of Guyenne

Isabel secretly married after the Infante Ferdinand of Aragon in 1469, breaking the provisions in the treaty with his brother Henry IV. He, who all his life lavished on her daughter paternal affection samples gave positive response to the ambassadors of Louis XI of France

, they asked the hand of Joan for the Duke of Guyenne, brother of the French. The marriage contract is signed in Medina del Campo in 1470

Buitrago del Lozoya,
and then present the nobles gave to the Princess the usual oath of allegiance as heir to the Crown, an act which was not punishable by the courts, the princess married the Count of Boulogne, a representative of Duke Guyenne. The Cardinal of Albi, one of the ambassadors of Louis XI, was on that day in charge of taking oath to the kings and verify the betrothal.

Dead Enrique IV impotent, almost all the nobility supported the cause of Elizabeth, in other words, the alliance Castlla crowns and Aragon; but some very powerful families in Castilla embraced the party of Juana.

Juana was recognized as queen by Diego Lopez Pacheco, Marquis of Villena, of great influence in the southern New Castile by his vast states, extending from Toledo to Murcia. The same was made the Duke of Arevalo, who enjoyed considerable crédito en Extremadura y en el mismo bando ingresaron el marqués de  Cádiz el gran Maestre de Calatrava, un hermano de éste y el arzobispo de Toledo  
Alfonso Carrillo

Queen of Castile and Portugal
Juana Understanding advocates that his forces were inferior to those of Isabel, Alfonso V asked the Portuguese to defend the right of his niece, who was Juana, and he proposed to marry it with what would also be king of Castile. Accepted

Alfonso, Isabel and Fernando went to a demonstration, demanding that they renounce the crown in favor of Juana if they wanted to avoid the consequences of the war, and over the border with 1,600 laborers and 5,000 horses moved through Extremadura. Reached Plasencia, where he joined the Marquis of Villena and Duke of Arevalo, and there married (May 25, 1475) with Jane, who ran both messengers to Rome requesting waiver of the mediated relationship between them.
Then the newlyweds proclaimed Queen of Castile, and issued letters to the cities, giving the right of Joan and claiming their loyalty. Juana, in these letters, issued by the Secretary Juan Gonzalez, says that Henry IV in his deathbed he solemnly declared that she was his only daughter and rightful heir.

Juana tried to prevent civil war proposing that the national vote resolve the issue of better right. Here are his words from the letter or manifesto addressed to the cities and towns of the kingdom: "
After the three states of these these my kingdoms, and by people chosen dello good reputation and awareness that are not suspected, free and determined to see justice for those whom these my kingdoms fall, because they excuse all hardships and breaks
war. "
start fighting
to no avail these good wishes. Ferdinand and Isabella made preparations to repel by force the Portuguese. This committed the blunder of remaining Plasencia inactive and Arevalo, giving his opponents time to gather 4,000 men in arms, 8,000 horsemen and 30,000 laborers. Hostilities broke out in various parts of the peninsula. Alfonso V, leaving Arévalo, seized Toro and Zamora. Fernando Toro appeared before the militias of Ávila and Segovia, rather soon had to retreat, which was chaotic and disastrous. Instead commoners Castilian vassals of Joan, served with reluctance under the Portuguese flag, and the nobles who supported the daughter of Henry IV had to do enough to defend their territory of Galicia, Villena and Calatrava against supporters Isabel. Several squadrons of light cavalry Extremadura and Andalusia caused the most frightful desolation in the land bordering Castilla Portugal, and Portuguese nobles complained loudly of being locked in Toro in his own country when the war was burning.
Juana In Toro had his court with great pomp, and, in the words of his partisans, displayed great qualities of a queen, but had only thirteen then. Alfonso V, however, renounced its claim to the crown, receiving in exchange the province, the cities of Zamora and Toro, and a considerable sum of money, but Elizabeth, who consented to the last, refused to yield a single inch of land. True to this the city of Burgos, it was necessary, however, that Fernando besieged the castle of the same kept by Iñigo de Zuniga, a supporter of Joan. The site of the fortress passed Fernando Zamora, whose inhabitants returned to the obedience of Isabel.

He surrendered to Don Alfonso of Aragon, brother of Fernando, the castle of Burgos, but not before tried to help Alfonso V, who had to go back, bound by Isabel, the Portuguese king lost the battle of Toro, but his son, Prince John, later John II of Portugal, won with its host, remaining in battle three days forced the winner, but gave the castle Fernando Zamora did the same Madrid and all the squares in the center of the kingdom, the duke of Arevalo, the Grand Master of Calatrava his brother , which was a count of Urena, and many other nobles.
