Although there is a lot of music in the film and it is very important, the approach has always been the
unlike the American musical where we sing and dance without explanation. here there is always
a more or less realistic justification. We worked on a very heterogeneous soundtrack
which goes from Vivaldi to Arca and from Tangana to Blondie. Dora and Weka composed and performed
songs produced by Pional and Diego Postigo.
The incidental music is a marvel of Tomás Virgós drinking from Stockhausen and others
masters of contemporary music.
Rainbow Review
The fourth work by Paco León takes us neither more nor less than into the world of Dora, interpreted by Dora Postigo, whose curiosity and great attraction for music will make her want to discover her own identity on the occasion of her 16th birthday. with the help of people who will become a great support for her.
Although Paco León wanted to move the story of 'The Wizard of Oz' to the present day by playing with skepticism and turning it from characters to more outlandish ones. 'Rainbow' does not fit with the spectator who is out of breath over the minutes.
The casting
Although it has a fairly predictable cast, this film manages to be saved thanks to the performance of Carmina Barrios, Carmen Machí and Carmen Maura. Other actors like Luis Bermejo and Hovik Keuchkerian help lend credibility to the story, avoiding overplaying.
The main role, played by Dora Postigo, never ceases to penetrate the public. Although, to be honest, it's not because of her but because of the artist's lack of experience (and it's not the first time she's worked with the director, but we're sure that over time she will stand out since she comes from a large family of artists).
A pleasant and unexpected surprise was the revealing performance of the singer Ayax Pedrosa, without a doubt we could say that this was the great discovery of the film, making the viewer become attached to his character from the first minute.
Rainbow, or in this case its director, played to take advantage of the eccentricities of several of its performers such as Samantha Hudson, Rossy de Palma, Esther Expósito, Alex de la Croix and Soraya Yasmin; thus allowing itself to gain followers and followers to reach a more alternative audience.
halfway
Although it's an adaptation of Dorothy in the world of Oz, this film ends before it loses any part or leaves behind a sense of why Dora feels such a strong attraction to the music.
In terms of staging, everything takes place in a modern and futuristic environment surrounded by extras, as is customary to see in other works by director, screenwriter and actor Paco León.
Ultimately…
Rainbow It does not become a film that marks the viewer and is remembered for life for themes that move you, socially speaking. However, to watch it on a Sunday at home from your couch and with popcorn in hand, it's one of those perfect films.
