Featured review
¨Cinco lobitos¨ is an overtalking and dramatic film directed by the Biscayan filmmaker Alauda Ruiz de Azúa in 2022. A women's film to reflect on motherhood in both directions , it deals with Maia (Laia Costa) , who has just become a mother . It turns out that Amaia is a 35-year-old woman who has just had her first child. In the first weeks, her partner and her parents help her . But soon her parents leave and her partner has to be absent for work reasons. Overwhelmed by the incessant task of being her mother, Amaia decides to go to her parents' house , in a town on the Basque coast. Then the world collapses on her because the baby cries , and, at one point, her boyfriend (Bustamante) has to go to earn his wages , because there is something to eat that's why he's going to work abroad. Amaia has just given birth and leaves the hospital with her mother Begoña (Susi Sanchez) . She is a new mother , and , for the first time , she realizes the changes that this new baby is going to bring. She decides to return to her parents' (Ramón Barea , Susi Sánchez) house along the Basque coast home for guidance , after her partner is temporarily away. So that Begoña and Koldo can help her take care of the girl , but then things go wrong.
This brooding and some claustrophobic picture concerns the motherhood and family relationships , being stunningly played by a splendid team of actors : Laia Costa , Susi Sánchez , Ramón Barea and Mikel Bustamante. This fact itself makes me curious enough to downplay the ordinary topics and to not be distracted . The movie has the ability to show being a mother, being a daughter , being a grandmother, being a wife, being a lover, in addition to motherhood in both directions , the change of identities within the family structure ; it also raises how is shared functions in the family unit , the way of being of those men who do not find out about the "needs of those who live together", whether they are older and old-fashioned or young or restless entrepreneurs and to add problems the grandmother falls ill and the roles are then reversed . However , what happens after the first half hour, results to be quite tiring , everything is starting to be tiresome for me : the cliché Basque grandmother, the cliché desperate mother , the cliché non-existent father more than absent and the cliché of an annoying baby continuously crying . The director intends to provide a close look at motherhood, but rather she has done a peculiar sight at the perpetual infantilism of millennials who cannot take on the life difficulties .
Here stands out the colorful cinematography by cameraman Jon D. Domínguez shot on location in Bakio, Bizkaia, Basque Country, Spain , Bilbao, Mundaka, Bizkaia , Spain and Madrid . Cinco Lobitos was middlingly directed by Alauda Ruiz de Azúa in his film debut , as she previously made Shorts . It won the Biznaga de Oro for Best Spanish Film at the Malaga Film Festival, and its director won the Best Script Award. The actresses Laia Costa and Susi Sánchez, both co-stars, also received the 'ex aequo' award for Best Actress. Rating : 5/10. Average.
