He won’t win either a Goya or an Oscar. It was not premiered in Berlin, nor at the Donostia Film Festival, nor at the film festival organized in Lyon dedicated to classic cinema, but at the small film gathering in Cuenca that honors and glorifies comedy. It’s not going to change what you think about comedy movies and it’s not going to break any big records at the box office. However, Alfonso Albacete’s ‘La novia de America’ has its cool and cool moments.
But what interests us in this verse paper is not the film’s celluloid values and values, but the fact that an elderly widower who is to marry a young Mexican girl is taken by the bride’s family to a temazcal on the eve of the wedding.
Temazcal, yes. Moctezuma’s own ancestors practiced the temple for a ritual. In truth, this ritual confirms, once again, that the wisdom of humanity is universal. general Universal, because by the time the conquistadors (including Lope de Agirre) arrived, the natives had been maintaining this custom for centuries. Like Finnish film director Aki Kaurismäki’s great-great-great-great-great-grandfather, don’t think.
What’s more, in the two radically different languages of these two peoples, separated by some oceans, some territories, some suns, some moons and skies, the words to explain these rituals and temples have the same meaning and meaning.
In the Nahuatl language spoken in Mexico and Central America, the word temazcal means a sweat lodge.
In the Nahuatl language spoken in Mexico and Central America, the word temazcal means a sweat lodge. Sauna has the same meaning in the Finnish or Finnish spoken in northern Europe (so far north that it borders Russia, bump, stumble).
As well as the words ‘Haman’ used by Arabic speakers (even if the manner of the ritual is not similar).
In every speech you will find a word that points to this habit for body and mind health. habit usage the ritual A pleasant cleaning procedure inside and out. When you’re in a sweat, the world, the world and all its complications appear on the other side of the door (it seems). The world seems to have stopped. Sweating, along with all the toxins, washes away anything that hurts your brain. Brush your teeth, because they massage you several times with birch or chestnut branches while you are in the sauna or in the Temazcal.
It is in the contrast, however, that the cause of all the benefits of the sauna or temazcals. After spending a decent amount of time in high, high temperatures, you will definitely have to take a Scottish shower, combining ice-like water with bubbling jets. If that hut is by the sea, lake or river bank, where you sweat, much better, jump. If it’s snowing, of course, lie down on the flakes that have covered the ground. You have nothing like it, I would play the neck, never live. You will think that your spirit is leaving your body. Are you afraid? no yes Gosh… a very magical feeling.
These days, they are not that divine places, but in almost all of them there is an order to be observed: do not start chatting
Like the Temazcal saunas, there were almost sacred places in front, because the soul, so to speak, flew to the heights. These days, they are not that divine places, but in almost all of them there is an order to be observed: do not start chatting. As in the temple, you must be collected within yourself in the sauna.
Finally, two films that are better than ‘La novia de America’. In both, the sauna is very important. One, ‘The Happiest Day in the Life of Olli Mäki’, which tells the incredible story of a Finnish boxer. The other, David Cronenberg’s ‘Promesas del Este’. Both are visible on platforms. Albacete’s, on the other hand, in the cinemas next to his house.
