CALLE 54
English film director Fernando Trueba, confessed music lover, gave one of his most personal films. It ta work of Calle 54, a musical devoted entirely to Latin jazz, filmed in a timely manner and with a group of artists impossible to repeat in 2000. Trueba shows his great love for Latin music, colorful vision of the expressiveness of the musician who pours sensitivity on the scene, the aromas that come from Spain to the Strait of Magellan, where music is the only star. In Calle 54 musical taste prevails Fernando Trueba, and a very particular way of putting the viewer into the scenes, making us feel part of this visual and aural experience. The film and soundtrack are quite a sight, what which is worth appreciating and enjoying.
Calle 54 is a tour of Latin jazz. By Fernando Trueba's Latin jazz and the musicians he chose for his project, his favorites. A smooth journey and, above all, tasty, in the musical and visual. The spectator, involved in the orchestra because of the close-ups and impeccable sound, you know that not seeing a documentary about Latin jazz. Nor is a film of a substance, with long flat and boring. He's in the band in impossible places. On top of the drum, between the sax and trumpet on the keyboard, and looking all at the same time.
