After 8 chapters Crematorium is finally over, the miniseries based on the novel by Rafael Chirbes and rewarded in 2007 with the National Review.
not know the novel (which I promise to remedy in the summer) but the series has was what this country needs in terms of TV. Canal + (producer of the invention) having been nourished by a decade of production of U.S. channel HBO has decided to take the step that no one seemed willing to give, to mature to the English TV fiction (in Italy they did with the great Rome the Criminal I highly recommend it.)
Crematorium during only 8 chapters recounts the decline of urban empire built up over 30 years by the architect and builder Rubén Bertomeu (José Sancho stunning as always), their family relationships and emotional ties as well as a few backstabbing ( great trio: Traian, Collado and SARC).
Accompanying the main plot are the flashbacks (which would provide for a separate story of gigantic proportions) that we have Bertucci's rise from his farm in Misenta (near Valencia ficiticia) to cement the sky, money, and corruption that it has created and is cracking.
Shot in cinema format, with good performances in general terms we have a series that strays from what we usually offer this country in terms of TV, no family doctor, the super, Aida, physics or chemistry or other cathodic slag.
Crematorium in biting the jugular of the television landscape that is the well-known and underused (in cultural) issue of urban corruption without mincing even though its small format makes it lose a little depth. And pass offers Iberian version of The Godfather or The Sopranos forming one of the first myths of the English television that we could export without shame.
8 chapters in principle but that no one was surprised that Chirbes and Canal + is for a hypothetical alien below. courtesy Loquillo topic.
And a trailer for the undecided.
I remind the staff that in just a couple of weeks and will be available on DVD or BLURAY for 30 euros. I sure peak.
