But his character is already formed. The government denied the citizens access to all sources of water: taps, wells and the rain. But in an industry so saturated with bleeding hearts and insincere activism, there is a worry that it will be lost among them. Every single day, our freedom and basic rights are violated. One citizen, Daniel (Juan Carlos Aduviri), wanting his daughter to get an opportunity, kicks up a fuss, holding the audition flier in his hand: 'Everyone will get a chance'.In Daniel, Sebastían recognises the people's discontent, and both father and daughter are eventually cast. Points of debate and political rhetoric are framed within character and only occasionally are the visual juxtapositions overly straightforward (one example being the crew's champagne buffet, intercut with scenes of indigenous poverty and thirst). A narrative grounded in factual events cleverly shows us the constant struggle of man against oppressor, at the same time weaving in what appears to be its author's own dilemma of making art versus the reality of human suffering. Which could explain why she and Laverty do not further investigate their own role in proceedings, and avoid any more potential narrative booby traps.If you enjoy The Quietus, please consider supporting what we do with a one-off or regular donation. Maria, the cinematographer has the first brush with reality when she interviews Daniel in his village. 2 September 2016 | rahilp As a wholly independent publication, we rely entirely on our ad bookings to keep The Quietus going. Sometimes, we need to be reminded of the most obvious things.

There might have been one scene that was not that clear to me but I got the general idea of it anyways so it was not really a big problem. Appearing to us once again as the natural successor to his frequent collaborator Ken Loach, with added meta flavours recalling docudrama master Peter Watkins, Scottish screenwriter Paul Laverty returns with Even The Rain …

We sit around a table laden with exquisite food and we talk about exploitation and violation of rights and just when the conversation becomes a little too uncomfortable, there is always enough intellectual humour to put us back in our snug, little shell of complacence. Quite vague, you’ll think, till you are right in the middle of the film.

is a post-graduate in Literature from the University of Calcutta. But this seems in keeping with an overall style of no-nonsense filmmaking that wishes in part to interrogate the viewer, while also uncovering the hypocrisy inherent in such a production. She enjoys confessional poems, both reading and writing of them. This is further highlighted at the end of the film, when Costa and Daniel meet for one last time. While the filmmakers are trying to tell a story about native exploitation, the whole reason that the main characters are filming a movie about Columbus and the Tainos (who lived much further north) in Bolivia in the first place is because of their economic instability. The ploy of film-within-film also works brilliantly for the chosen themes. The scene that is very important to this theme is when they meet with a government official complicit in the privatization deal.Sebastian: “I don’t want to be rude, but if someone earns two dollars a day, he can’t pay a 300% increase in the price of water. In a script that's often literal in its explanations, and direct to the point of polemic, there is the sneaking impression that perhaps Laverty would rather do away with fiction and just pound us with facts. The scene where Daniel is being burned on the cross in the film, the Bolivian police rush in, and his fellows rescue him is one of the more powerful of these juxtapositions. Even the Rain is a film positively bursting with a sense of importance which comes as little surprise when you discover it was penned by Paul Laverty, a regular Ken Loach collaborator. All the pieces fall into place when Daniel, much like his character Hatuey, decides that it is his duty to lead his people to rebellion. Sebastian and Costa are at their wits’ end, when even after several attempts they fail to convince him to lay off till the film is finished.
