Yo Soy La Juani (2006)
(Alternate title: My Name is Juani)
Directed by: Bigas Luna
Running Time: 92 Minutes
Country: Spain
Genre: Comedy, Drama
Acting Credits: Veronica Echegui (La Juani), Dani Martin (Jonah), Laya Marti (La Vane)
An ambitious provincial girl (La Juani/Veronica Echegui) heads to Madrid determined to become an actress. Supported by her best friend (La Vane/Laya Marti) she quickly tastes disappointment, the non-glamour side of show business. A painful relationship is also thrown in the mix causing the wannabe star to reconsider her career aspirations.
The premise behind Luna's latest isn't going to impress those looking for a refreshing piece of cinema. Yet, there is enough here that will likely entertain those familiar with the Spanish director's previous work. Snazzy, uninhibited, and bursting with energy Yo Soy La Juani comes off as an extended MTV clip with a surprisingly meaningful message.
Influenced by street culture and openly glorifying modern glam trends (fast and loud customized automobiles, excess-vogue, etc) Luna's return to mainstream cinema however feels a bit overboard - dialog is rough, camera work too hectic, the hip-hop soundtrack a few years late.
Yet, under the shiny wrapping pic remains surprisingly honest. The acting is strong and the message Yo Soy La Juani delivers not as dreadful as one might have assumed it would be. In addition pic's finale provides plenty of food for thought, even if one isn't as familiar with Spanish youth as Luna appears.
