Dominicans Uprising in the Film Industry
I came across an invitation in Facebook about this film “La Soga” today. After watching the trailer, I can’t wait to see the this movie.
“La Soga” is an edgy, action-drama, combining the gritty reality of movies like “City of God” and “Amores Perros.” It is the personal journey of a brave man who risks everything to find justice, a visceral and gripping story of redemption that lays bare brutality and corruption.
“La Soga” is set in the neighborhoods of the Dominican Republic and Washington Heights, New York.
Not only the Cast and crew is heavily Dominican. This film looks lie a hit to me.
Here is an article from: http://mibodegaonline.com/
Commenting on the film, Junot Diaz, Pulitzer prize winning author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao said La Sogais ” a searing portrayal of a killer’s quest for redemption. La Soga is many things: a crime story, a love story, and a no-holds-barred examination of the costs of vengeance. It is also flat-out brilliant”.
Filmed between the Dominican Republic and Washington Heights, NYC; La Soga may just be one of the most phenomenal Dominican movies ever made! The film is an action packed drama of the “journey of a brave man who risks everything to find justice”. It is a tale of a innocence, bravery, and redemption. The cast is composed of pure Dominican talent with actors Manny Perez, Juan Fernandez, and Celines Toribio. The films also includes other Latino talent such as the film debut of ex-Miss Universe, Denise Quinoñes. The film is due out sometime in 2009, and personally I can’t wait for it to be released. If the film is anything like its promising trailer portrays it to be then La Soga is going to be nothing short of outstanding and mind-blowing that will send a chill up your spine!
Have I mentioned that I can’t wait for the film to be released? I think it is going to be an incredible film. But you be the judge of that, watch the trailer!!!
