Before I watched the film, I always see the film trailer. First, when I saw the trailer of <\/span>Family Members<\/span><\/i>, I was thinking this is about the two young siblings, Lucas (Tom\u00e1s Wicz who was acted in <\/span>The Pack of Three<\/span><\/i>, 2019) and Glida (Laila Maltz who was acted in <\/span>A Family Submerged<\/span><\/i>, 2018) face to their mother’s death. However, it’s not. Of course, the story is affected to her death. But, if I describe the film, I really want to say <\/span>Family Members<\/span><\/i> is about how the family relationship will be with sexuality after two sibling\u2019s mother passed away.<\/span><\/p>\nFamily Members<\/span><\/i> is the winner of the Future Film at the Cinema Jove – Valencia International Film Festival 2019. The film was directed and written by Mateo Bendesky who was directed <\/span>Together Alone<\/span><\/i> in 2017. The story started in the train. The camera was close-up to Lucas\u2019s face and Glida\u2019s face. Until Lucas and Glida arrive at their mother\u2019s house, they weren\u2019t much talking. The very first conversation was from Glida, \u201cHow are you?.\u201d I was surprised because they\u2019ve already been together before arriving at the house. Because of this exchange, I couldn\u2019t have absolutely no clue how the story is going. While they stayed at their mother\u2019s house, Lucas was meeting some new people. Those people affected a lot to him. Most of things was the sexuality. Conversely, Glida took hard time being with his brother. She is older than Lucas, so she tried to help him. But most of the time, her speaking wasn\u2019t successful him. Even though they weren\u2019t talking a lot, they were always arguing when they spoke together. However their quarrel patched things up immediately. Therefore, both two siblings were taking the same time in the same place, but they were worried different one. Although, until this point, the story sounds like serious. the film had some comedies. The music wasn\u2019t played so much, but it can influence the funny parts. In that way, their relationships and feelings changed as made some conversations and some experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n There are many objects which has an important meaning. Bendesky said he didn\u2019t tell the exact meaning of each symbol to cast. So, cast was imagine the content. But, we can be noticed how the object is in the scene by faces or voices of actors and actresses. For instance, Lucas and Glida brought their mother\u2019s hand for throwing away to the sea. Some people were laughing and others weren\u2019t in other scene with the hand. It\u2019s just the hand. Moreover, it\u2019s the only one side. What will you think? I thought the symbol will make huge impact to viewers. It might be serious. It might be funny. In the <\/span>Family Members<\/span><\/i>, some objects were the same as this hand. However the film didn\u2019t any horror scene. The light was kind of low, but It could connect to their mind and their relationship. The scene was going very slow. There were a lot of space on the screen. Everyone can be staying with the movie.<\/span><\/p>\n After mother, father, or both parents died, family relationship would be hard. But both Tom\u00e1s Wicz and Laila Maltz was acted without knowledge of how people will feel when their parents passed away. It was so expressed. I really recommend this film to everyone. <\/span>Family Members<\/span><\/i> is the fiction film. However, this mind would be difference after watching the film. Some scenes might be happen everywhere. This family relationship would be occured reality.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Reviewed by Natsuna Kikkawa.
