A melodrama in a tone of hilarious and poignant comedy that you'll be amazed by the richness of its characters and its clever plot. Casi Divas can kill time by any person, without feeling that you've completely lost your money. A film that promises fun and original theme as it comes to Mexican cinema.
Casi Divas. Dir Issa López, 2008
We have an honest film, we know that is commercial, that does not have a large or small acts of profound and artistic, just know it has to offer, an entertainment. The managers of large national and international television companies compete daily to grab the highest levels of audience, news, talk shows, musicals, comedy, series, sports, soap operas, competitions and reality shows, the latter of which generate the highest "raiting" due to the direct identification with the masses with those in the picture. But such issues are worth everything to generate curiosity and be controversial, to break schemes, regardless of content verge on the grotesque and undermining the intellect of the viewer.
We are facing a feminist X covering topics as diverse from each other but inclusive in our society. From the problem of the dead women of Juarez to transsexuality, which is the subject that concerns me at this time. Talk about a transsexual girl never will be starring in a soap opera or a movie and everything that we live in a heteronormative environment that publicly always see stories with male and female protagonist thousands of avoiding conflicts to be happy. Yesenia's character is very interesting because it handles internal conflict, regardless of the criticism.
So I invite you to see this film as a mere channel to critique the media. An interesting exercise Issa Lopez, which, together with side effects, moves to a director who shows with extreme cynicism to raise his voice to characters locked in their own character and destiny.
