vynzente Well filmed, with good views, but familiar. The story, however, is widely common as a film tape, and in reality... especially in countries of the third World. The actors, would say, that play extremely well, submit to the level specified. The movie to me is not a cliché, grabs the attention of the viewer in most of the time, but it is not something unseen or unheard. Мusic is selected correctly, nice clean speech and present good sound too. The evaluation ratio at the time as an average is deserved, so I recommend especially the audience with wider views and perception of justice, freedom, understanding and love ! And strong hope so in the shooting of the entire film has none injured Animal under any pretext.

maurice yacowar Alonso Ruiz Palacios's Behaviour may seem to be about classroom deportment — whether student or teacher — but it casts more interesting light on how Cuba should be conducting itself in its current transitional period.When the elderly teacher Carmela becomes too engaged with the underprivileged students Yeni and Chala she runs athwart of the school authorities and is pressured to retire. When administrator Sonia suggests she has taught too long, Carmela asks whether she thinks the government has been in power too long. That would make the film seem reactionary, pro-Castro and opposed to change.But there's more to that picture. Yeni marks a classmate's death by posting on the class bulletin board a Catholic card that he had given her. Sonia wants it removed because the government inspector would condemn the school for such a religious display. Carmela insists on leaving it till the girl is ready to remove it. She values the student's emotional support over the government's policy on religion. That suggests a change from tradition.Sonia herself is presented as a woman of modern style, wealth, slickness, in short, perhaps a harbinger of the looming capitalism. Her values are efficiency and modernity, even if that disadvantages the school's troubled charges. As she represents the incoming Cuba and Carmela the outgoing, then the film's concern may be how to preserve the best of the old Cuba — its education, medicine, socialist ideals — while still admitting the new and progressive. Thus Carmela is supported by two former students now on staff, and a young black woman she trains to continue her values.The film also mobilizes the feminine sensitivity against traditional machismo. Yeni insists Chala dissociate himself from his mother's partner Ignazio's dog-fight business. She encourages the feminine sensitivity he shows with his pigeons. As a corrective she assigns him Jack London's White Fang. Carmela insists Ignazio accept responsibility for both Chala and his druggie mother, significantly reducing the man's swagger. As the school is obviously a microcosm of Cuba, Palacios is balancing social realism with some pointed reflections on how Cuba might preserve the best traditions and move away from the worst.

swooned This was the opening film at Sydney Latin American Film Festival (SLAFF) 2014. What one to choose! Amazingly well done. We may have seen the story done one way or another, but the situation this is set in overlays such complexities. Encompassing all the stories was all life, not aspects of it. Also, the energy of the young lead actors was amazing. So strong. Boy/girl stuff far beyond the limited scope of typical films. These are tough people for ones so young. Totally impressive, let alone both so physically attractive for their ages, especially in the faces. So expressive!Incredible work considering the subject matter.So, we see it. What are we going to do about it? How do we return sovereignty to countries, and exchange such cultural diversities?Thx, SLAFF, for presenting such an incredible film!

moalta A quite interesting and satisfying movie though, for me, less so than BUQUENQUE but more so than PABLO (for those of you who follow recent Cuban productions). CONDUCTA shows the harsh side of Cuban life in various ways and demonstrates attitudinal differences very reflective of Cuban society in 2014. Wonderful acting by the young cast. Music use seems like a last-minute and cheap addition to the movie, which deserves an original score that would in fact be quite achievable in Cuba. The movie has theatrical release in Cuba, which demonstrates the liberal approach Cuba has taken to providing public funding for films that are constructively critical of Cuban society.
