A Private Affair (The New York Review Books Classics)

Product Information

Director: Paolo Taviani. Screenplay: Paolo Taviani, Vittorio Taviani, freely inspired by the novel “Una questione private” by Beppe Fenoglio. Camera (color, widescreen): Simone Zampagni. Editor: Roberto Perpignani. Music: Giuliano Taviani, Carmelo Travia. The basic premise of the story is that she can't be a policeman because she is a woman and certainly that is a credible storyline. The problem here is that the way THIS particular woman is behaving, I can't really blame the Glacian police for having nothing whatsover to do with her. That's the problem with the whole story. She might be clever enough to figure out clues, but she then is seen chasing the bad guy who is twice her size barefoot across a rooftop after losing her gun and then helping him not to fall to his death so he can then attempt to kill her? Is anybody really that stupid? That was the final straw. It was just stupid and decided enough was enough and we wouldn't be watching any furhter. It doesn't take her long to figure out that it is a serial killer at work and all the clues lead to the ‘blue house' and an underground elite prostitution ring. Secondo libro che ho leggo di quest'autrice e devo dire che lo stile è inconfondibile. Anche in questo caso si tratta di una storia ricca di dettagli, narrata attraverso vari punti di vista e soprattutto quello femminile. L'autrice non si limita a raccontare solo storie d'amore, d'amicizia e d'inganni ma è anche l'occasione per descrivere la vita di un soldato e in particolar modo cosa si prova ad essere la moglie o la compagna di uno di loro (una vita per niente invidiabile).

Directed by David Pinillos, Maria Ripoll, and Daniel Aranyo, A Private Affair stars Aura Garrido (Marina Quiroga), Jean Reno (Hèctor), Gorka Otxoa (Pablo), Pablo Molinero (Arturo), Álex Garcia (Castaño), Ángela Molina (Doña Asuncion), and Tito Valverde (Ramirez), among others. What Works for A Private Affair? Plot Quattro donne con storie diverse alle spalle che in qualche modo si trovano a condividere le loro vite in un particolare momento. Ognuna con un proprio carattere, con pregi e difetti, con punti deboli e di forza. Ognuna con desideri e sogni da realizzare. Ognuna con la propria personale ricerca e visione dell’amore. I thought the novel was harsh and brutal, but in a very good way. There were no rose coloured glasses when showing the true nature of some soldiers or how they treat their wives. It felt very real, and the characters of the woman simply brought the book to life.

Un asunto privado', la serie grabada en Vigo y Pontevedra, ya tiene fecha de estreno". El Español (in Spanish). 23 June 2022 . Retrieved 25 September 2022.

Si raccontano le vicende di queste donne così diverse da loro, ma che la vita, come il più crudele dei giochi, finisce per accumunare come se il mondo non fosse altro che un piccolo fazzoletto di terra nel quale sia facile imbattersi in qualcun altro con le tue stesse conoscenze. Francamente non mi sono appassionata a nessuna delle loro vite, benché devo ammettere che ho preferito in particolare i capitoli dedicati alla storia di Meaghan piuttosto che le altre. Ma la sensazione di fondo è sempre la stessa: si tratta di donne molto ingenue, che spesso cadono tra le braccia di un uomo appena incontrato, senza fare una lista dei pro e dei contro, ma gettandosi nell’abisso dell’amore senza nemmeno pensarci, punite poi per questa negligenza. Overall, if you get used to the style, the dramatics and the Enid Blyton style detective, A Private Affair is watchable. Barely. As to the keystone comedy type chase scenes and some of the other supposedy amusing touches. Unnecessary and they don't work in what should have and could have been a serious piece of drama and been directed and written that way.Un romanzo che mi è piaciuto, una lettura diversa da quelle a cui sono abituata ultimamente. Un ritmo graduale abbinato ad uno stile delicato che ti lascia scivolare nella narrazione senza la fretta di arrivare da nessuna parte, senza la furia di giungere alla fine ma lasciandoti indugiare nelle pagine così come nelle vite dei suoi personaggi. I don't know what it is, but although Jean Reno is one of our favourite French actors, he just doesn't work here in the role of the butler. Neither my wife nor myself could put our finger on it but he just wasn't convincing. We don't know why, but he doesn't work. When the bodies of several women begin to appear marked and creating a clear pattern, Marina decides to hunt down what is unmistakably a ruthless and lethal serial killer, but with a narcissistic edge that has managed to slip under the radar of the police, less aware than she of the latest scientific advances. The length of the second show is a little longer because there was a bit of boredom in the mid-part of this series. In this, many times the main character has been taken out by putting it in the problem. So when we are coming out again and again in dangerous situations, then we as an audience tension and care stops failing because we understand that these characters will come out of every situation. And this is the only problem in this series as well. In this series also there is tension and suspense in starting but later this series disappoints about the same thing. Despite having some issues like this, in my eyes, it is a fantastic and drastic show.

She is accompanied on her adventure by her faithful butler Héctor, a kind of Watson who is always attentive to details, helpful and audacious, who manages to turn Marina’s investigations around. She, for her part, will often be forced to fight to remove the obstacles that stand in her way because of her gender bias and the unusualness of a female figure with her abilities and ambitions. Un romanzo da cui emerge la voglia di riscatto personale, il desiderio e lo stupore di scoprirsi amata e desiderata, la fuga dalla famiglia per affermare se stessi lasciandosi alle spalle ogni ombra, la furia e la violenza che esplodono lasciando dietro di se dolore e morte. La speranza di poter ricominciare con la propria determinazione ma anche con il prezioso aiuto di chi ci vuole bene.The writers have done a great job in preparing a fulfilling tale. Though I initially expected the series to explore a different case in each episode, it instead went on to focus on one religiously, which works well. Additionally, the show manages to avoid dull moments for the most part. The series has a very cheerful environment because of the main character, Martina. She has a very chirpy personality that lifts the entire series throughout. She is a woman of opinion and does not want to be pushed over by society just because she is a woman. She wants to follow in her father’s footsteps and become a police officer. The series shows us how Martina and Hector overcome the obstacles and the prejudices they face as they go on their journey of investigation. Reviewed at Rome Film Festival (official selection), Oct. 27, 2017 (Also in Toronto Film Festival — Masters; Busan Film Festival — World Cinema; Tokyo Film Festival — World Focus.) Original title: “Una questione private” In the end, I learned an effective new method of carrying excessive luggage and I also solved the Mysterious Case of The Missing Station. Like the dog that did not bark in the night, Marleybone turned out not to be missing at all. Trama intrigante con la giusta dose di colpi di scena (anche se qualcosa risulta prevedibile), personaggi ben caratterizzati ma devo confessare che ho preferito L'Estate Francese.

In my opinion, this show was fabulous and mind-blowing.This series has all the elements we want to see in a top-class series and in a good detective show. If you watch only the first episode of this series, then your interest will increase in this series. Its characters and mystery will start to interest you. The mystery of this series will keep you engaged from a decent start. And what are the investigation processes of Mariana and the actors of this show They are actually watchable? And you will find a fun kind of relationship dynamic between Mariana and Hector. I’ll start off by saying that I actually really enjoyed the main characters in this book; however; was a little disappointed when it got to the end and only 3/4 of the characters had actually met. Not only did they not even meet Dani; they were never even aware of her story. Therefore while I really enjoyed Dani’s story; it kind of made her a bit pointless. I was looking forward to seeing how she’d interact with the other 3 but nothing ever materialised so that was quite disappointing.

Tv Season Info

E' un romanzo corposo e profondo (i temi affrontati sono interessanti) ma i repentini cambi di punti di vista e i salti nel tempo non rendono sempre scorrevole questo libro. A Private Affair has a scintillating pace that never goes lollygagging, even during emotional sequences. Despite being placed in the 1940s, it doesn’t feel archaic. It throws open a mystery in the first episode without wasting time on fluff, thereby allowing you to immerse in its idea. Invigorating Once you get passed that, as it is very annoying, there is actually a decent mystery to be solved. That is, despite the clues often coming incredibly easy to Marina while everybody stumbles around to catch up. Jean Reno plays Hèctor in A Private Affair. The veteran actor imbibes the true qualities of an artist and throws open an in-depth presentation. His heavy yet controlled voice accentuates every scene Jean is a part of. Moreover, the actor aces hidden sarcasm flawlessly using his impromptu behavioral arcs. a private matter takes us to the city of Vigo at the end of the 40s to meet Marina Quiroga, a woman of high class and detective skills thanks to the teachings of her father, a deceased police officer who has always been the mirror in which look at each other
