It is not excessively dramatic, although some scene knows how to moisten your eyes. It's fun, each character on his record. The wish list is presented as a road movie where each protagonist will fulfill three wishes during the trip they make in a motorhome from Seville to the Sahara desert. This is a comfortable format for humor, for presenting a great variety of settings, characters and situations without giving too many explanations.

The song of the forgotten names closed the San Sebastian Festival and is based on a book of the same name by music critic Norman Lebrecht. The director, Francois Girard, has studied the function of music from the beginning of his filmography.

Perhaps being a biopic portraying slavery, a tearful drama was expected. However, it hardly lets the story rest. It has more thriller overtones for its dynamism of constant flight. Harriet It is an inspiring story, based on real events and with a documentary background, attractive labels for the public. It's epic at times and commercial enough, but it could have been more. Therefore, it leaves the path open and already plotted to produce other versions and, above all, in other formats. Chronologically it portrays important moments of the 19th century…
