Wikipedia article
'Always Yours' is a 2007 Spanish neo-noir drama film directed by Manuel Lombardero. It stars Flora Martnez, Rubn Ochandiano, Jos Coronado, and Caroline Henderson.
Plot
The fiction follows Lola and her boyfriend Alfredo, a petty criminal. The former began working in a jazz club frequented by quaint individuals (including a forensic photographer, a young musician becoming blind, an alcoholic pianist, and a jazz singer) but the entry on the scene of 'mafioso' Manuel Gay causes disruption.
Cast
Production
The screenplay was penned by Manuel Lombardero alongside Ignacio del Moral. The film was produced by Pastora Delgado PC and Films d'Ultramort, and it had the participation of TVE.
Release
The film screened at the Mlaga Film Festival in March 2007. Distributed by Azeta Cinema, it was theatrically released in Spain on 27 April 2007.
Reception
Jonathan Holland of 'Variety' considered that despite boasting a "pleasant jazz score", a clutch of "decent" performances, and coming with all the genre trimmings, "the script fails to whip them up into anything beyond an efficient exercise in style".
Javier Ocaa of 'El Pas' deemed 'Always Yours' to be "a painful, somber film with a great sound and image design", featuring a "atmosphere, credibility and a formal design that is as risky as it is meritorious", but also pointed out at a flawed direction of actors, as each one of them performs in a different dramatic range.
