the film critic Frank Padron considered that the makeup and hairstyles of the recently released Cuban telenovela the right to be born are unsuccessful, and that most of the actors seem “in disguise”.
Padrón is referring to the new nationally-produced novel that has been out since last Monday Cubavision, and which has 60 chapters of 45 minutes each. The story, which will be screened on Monday, Wednesday and Friday of each week, presents a plot that mixes love triangles, intrigues, secrets from the past and current problems of Cuban society.
“Yes: ‘El derecho…’ flows narratively but the makeup and hairstyles are flawed,” the critic said on Facebook.
He affirms that “most of the actors seem to be in disguise” and that “perhaps trying to imitate an epochal histrionic style close to radio (which was not such, at least in the majority, according to witnesses) imposture and gossip are appreciated in many”.
He cites the example of “the drunken scene with Fernando Hechevarría”, and posts some images to show his appreciation.
At the end of his post, however, he states that the series has several points in favor, such as “the assembly and the general setting.”
the right to dream, by directors Alberto Luberta Martínez and Ernesto Fiallo, premieres 75 years after the airing of the iconic radio soap opera of the same name by the writer and presenter from Santiago Félix B. Caignet, pioneer of radio broadcasting in Cuba.
Precisely, the telenovela will be a tribute to the 100 years of Cuban radio, said Fe Maité Herryman Romero, director of Content and Programming of Cuban Television.
The cast of the new dramatized includes leading actors such as Verónica Lynn, Luis Rielo, Irela Bravo, the recently deceased Rubén Breña. Also Fernando Hechavarría, Jorge Martínez, and younger figures such as Denys Ramos, Yaremis Pérez and Ray Cruz, among others.
With a script by Ángel Luis Martínez and Luberta himself, the story is divided into two periods, with connections between them.
The first takes place in 1948 and is part of what was called by the media “The air war”, between the radio magnates Goar Mestre and Amado Trinidad, owners of CMQ and RHC Cadena Azul, respectively; and will recreate the context around the success of the right to be bornbroadcast at the end of the 40s of the last century by the CMQ SA Circuit and which reached the highest audience rate in the country.
The second stage of the plot unfolds in a radio station today.
