When the director of photography appears in big letters..
At thebeginning of The Tale of a Summer Night, two couples who met a few hours ago will wake up together. They've been playing sex games for a long time, at night. In bed and in the room, the mess is complete. It's hot and the bodies are sweating. It's been hours.
The first part of the film is starring bodies full of desires, those two bodies immersed in a very physical film choreography.
When the girl leaves the boy's house, both the tone and tone of the film and the light (s) change. In those two parts, in the Goya category of new filmmakers, Ion de Sosa, a finalist for the film Balearic , has been director of photography. It is curious: the publicists responsible for spreading the story of a summer night to the four winds, everywhere, in every press release, know that the presence of the donostiarra, with Lois Patiño and Irati Gorosti, increases the quality of the film.
Speaking to Ion, who will present Balearic on the 26th at the Tabakalera in San Sebastian, he explained to us that the film required a damp, erotic, sweaty texture. He explained that, being so sexual, it was necessary for everyone to have a coordinator of intimacy. In this case, Violeta Orgaz, who had taken on the same role in the television series Querer de Alauda Ruiz de Azua, was responsible for making the couple of actors feel calm and safe.
Ion also told us about the importance of operators using the steadicam camera. She was the one who chose the light and the diaphragm well and correctly, but there were others who moved the camera between body choreography. Here are their names: Virginia Rita Luengo, Bethlehem Figal Montero and Arielle Estrada.
The Goya Awards will be presented on the 28th. Until then, Maria Herrera's film marketing specialists will continue to use Ion de Sosa's name as a hook.
