When I returned to Chile, I never heard anything about him. He is never among those listed as the "new generation" of Chilean filmmakers that come out every 6 months or so. However, I am convinced that Jose Luis Torres Silva has more than enough talent and a promising future. Today I was surprised to find that Variety shares my admiration in a review of his first feature film El cielo, la tierra y la lluvia, taking notice of the prize he received at the Rotterdam Film Festival.
Nunca oí hablar de él cuando regresé a Chile. Nunca figura en los artículos que salen aproximadamente cada 6 meses proclamando "la nueva generación" de cineastas chilenos. Sin embargo, estoy convencida que Jose Luis Torres Silva tiene talento de sobra y un futuro prometedor. Me encontré hoy con la sorpresa que Variety comparte mi admiración con una crítica a su primer largometraje,El cielo, la tierra y la lluvia, a propósito del premio obtenido en el Festival de Cine de Rotterdam.
