Radio Corazón

Hello... Today Nick asked us talk about the last film that we saw... In my case that one was Radio Corazón.

This movie is the no oficial sequel of "El Chacotero sentimental" of 1998 that is until today the most popular film in Chile. Radio Corazón preserve the original structure narrating three diferent stories through a radio program which is the union point for this film (like in the first one). The film start whit "La iniciación" ("The initiation") a story wich count how a teeneger called Nice (Manuela Martelli) treat to keep the promise that she did to her friend... "Before I be 18 I will be a woman, will lose my virginity" and in this attempt she involved her stepfather Manolo (Daniel Muñoz) and his workmetter Darwin (Daniel Alcaíno). Then we confront a Drama "Mi nuera" ("my daughter in law") that develop between Sandra (Claudia Di Girolamo) her son Federico (Nestor Cantillana) and his girlfriend Manuela (Juana Viale), this is a very strong story wich involved lies, loneliness and homosexuality. Finally we find a story called "Cuento de Hadas" ("Fairy Tale") which is, in my opinion, the weakest point in this movie. This tale is about a domestic servant called Valeria (Tamara Acosta) who work with a very rich family which are having some problem because of Maria Pilar`s illness (Amparo Noguera), who is the employer. The main problem is between Maria Pilar and her husband Cristián (Felipe Braund), and this problem reach at Valeria in a no common way.

In my opinion this is a very good movia, I do not know if is better of previous one, but have a very good photografy, framing and I had a very good soprise with "Rumpy", the Director, because I think he did a very good job (It is his first movie). Beside the actors performance is very good, especially Caludia Di Girolamo, Daniel Muñoz and Manuela Martelli. Tamara Acosta also did a good job (Like always) but we have seen she is this kind of role.

TYhis film is a very good option, especially if you want know more the chilean culture.

Totila Albert (The german Rodin)


Hi!!! Welll today I wont show you one of my favourite piece of art. This is "La Tierra" ("The Earth" in English) of Totila Albert, he is a chilean sculptor who born in 1892 in Santiago Chile, in 1915 he went to Germany to study and work in Berlin`s Fine Arts Academy. He count with his colleague`s appreciation, he to belong to 28` generation and his work was given a very good reception, even was call "The German Rodin". He most back to Chile in 1939 after his works and studio was destroy in middle of second world war (Totila had german-judish origin).


The first time that I saw his works was in a Contemporary Art Museum`s leaflet(MAC). I love how Totila understand the human`s anatomy and its means. I hope you like it too.

An interesting subject

Well... Are two areas that I find interesting:


  • Criminal Law

  • Procedural law

The first area refers to the body of law which deals with crimes and their consequences. Procedural law comprises the rules by which a court hears and determines what happens in civil or criminal proceeding.


In penal law I have learnt about the penal theory and crimal theory, that`s to say only thery, only the general part (Penal law divide in general and special part). In other hand in procedural law I have learnt the organitation of trial (in firts semester), ordinay process (second semester) and this semester i have leart about specials process.


Well I want to know (Next semester I hope) penal process and the special part of penal law that contain the specific crime and it`s stady. Learn this thing is mix this areas (procedural and penal law).


I`m not really sure why but I find its very interesting. Procedural law, I think, it´s nearest of profesional job and in Penal law you can find more areas for discusion about justice.

Websites about this areas are:
