“The Silence of Marcos Tremmer”, with Benjamin Vicuña (story of a man who spoils his wife too much), and “Babygirl”, where Nicole Kidman gets involved with an employee who is twice her age.
This week’s premieres coincide with two stories whose protagonists make hidden and contradictory decisions that can work against them: “The silence of Marcos Tremmer”with Benjamin Vicunaand “Babygirl. “Forbidden desire”with Nicole Kidman.
At the beginning of the first, an advertising creative resigns without a fight his longed-for presence at the Cannes Lions, just to please his wife, who organized a trip to Punta Cana in a totally without consultation manner. He pampers her too much, he doesn’t want her to suffer for anything, to the point that, when he is affected by a malignant tumor, he has the strange idea of pretending that he no longer loves her, so she goes with someone else who is looking for her and doesn’t cry. his death. No sooner said than done. Suddenly the cancer subsides, he remains alive but now she hates him. Maybe you’ll end up crying.
Of course, other things happen. And they happen in Madrid, Punta Cana and Colonia, Uruguay, all beautifully photographed and routinely recounted. Director, the Spanish Garcia de la Calerathe summer comedy “Caribbean all inclusive.” Fun fact, for the second time Vicuna He plays a seriously ill person. Before it was in a good (although somewhat saccharine) melodramatic series, “The first of us”which worked very well on a few surrounding themes and had a nice musical theme, “Don’t go”. What we see now fits just the tango “Confession”of Discépolo.

The other film is what they call an erotic thriller. The truth is, it has little or nothing of a thriller. On the other hand, it has enough of the other. Here is the woman (Nicole Kidman) who pleases her husband by faking an orgasm. Then she will indulge herself, and later she will uncontrollably throw herself at an insolent young man who may be able to make her live her fantasies. What fantasies are those? Those of being dominated in bed.
The detail is that, apart from being married, the mother of two teenage daughters and being twice her lover’s age, she is a first-line executive director in a serious company and he is a new, circumstantial employee of that same company, a intern he just met. Who knows if that guy doesn’t take advantage of dominating her at work too, or if the staff finds out and loses respect for him? But who knows if this experience of releasing your libido a little outside the home, without anyone knowing, doesn’t end up helping harmony and marital happiness? Everyone has their flats.
Director, Halina Reijndeclared disciple of Paul Verhoeventhat of “Based Instincts”, “Showgirls” and especially “Elle, abuse and seduction” (and “Robocop”, which was more fun). Of course, the difference with those films is the female gaze, which updates, at least in words, the old themes of unspeakable desire.
