‘The Heart of the Earth’ was released as ‘El Corazón de la Tierra’ in Spain last April. Since September it has been available on a rental DVD. As of early December however, the film is available on a regular DVD throughout Spain. Good news is that I’ve been able to obtain a copy myself this week and I have for you screencaptures of the film and the DVD extras!

Catalina Sandino Moreno is absolutely mesmerizing in this film, I thought. Her performance is both nuanced and strong. It’s also a great character for her to play. Blanca Bosco is the more quiet, observing of the 2 leading ladies. Yet, when she speaks it’s very much to the point and she also in the end, in my opinion, proves to be the stronger woman. Even if Kathleen - her English friend - calls her a coward. Oh, and Catalina looks absolutely stunning in period costumes!

Although the film itself does have its weak moments - the love triangle feels forced - it is a recommendable watch over all. I certainly do hope this film gets a broader release - it really deserves it - not least because of Catalina Sandino Moreno! All the other actors are good as well, I should maybe add.

You may have wondered about my lack of updates recently. Biggest reason for that is I considered giving the site away. After having seen ‘The Heart of the Earth’ however, I don’t think I’m able to do that anymore. I could use some help, though. So, if you like Catalina and feel you’d be able to help out with updates etc. please get in touch.
