Alejandro Iñárritu... and the Poetics of Chance:

Arts intertwine with life, and human experiences with creative expression. In this context, Alejandro Iñárritu stands out as one of the most prominent directors who have been able to express this deep connection in unique and profound ways. Alejandro Iñárritu was born in Mexico City, a city that is an endless source of cultural and artistic inspiration. He grew up in an environment rich in history and tragedy, which gave his artistic vision a special depth and led him to reflect on the complexities of human existence.
The book highlights the many facets of Mexican director Alejandro Iñárritu's art, revealing layers of meaning that go beyond the surface to reach the core of the human experience. It also explores how his works drew their power from life experiences and how the philosophical questions he poses relate with our everyday reality, enabling them to connect with the hearts and minds of viewers alike. The book also focuses on Iñárritu's use of unconventional narratives, allowing him to create complex worlds that transcend time and space. This technique is not just an artistic style; it is an expression of an existential philosophy related to understanding time as something nonlinear, where memories and events intertwine with the fabric of life.

Screenplay Rhythm: The Art of Controlling Time:

Rhythm in cinema is the hidden force that makes us feel movement and tension, comfort and excitement, making us part of the event or the engine of time, experiencing the heroes' emotions and interacting with their characters. Rhythm within a scene is a fundamental element in filmmaking, directly affecting its impact and appeal. It refers to the way in which the various elements within a scene are arranged and presented, such as dialogue, action, acting, cinematography and editing. 

In this book, we explore the importance of rhythm in films and how such an invisible element can shape the entire viewing experience. We will also delve into the different types of rhythm, whether in the transition between scenes, in the development of the narrative, or even within a single shot. We will analyze how rhythm can enhance or weaken a story, and how filmmakers can control it to ensure viewers remain engaged. The book aims to present rhythm as a vital and essential element in filmmaking, and to offer filmmakers and writers techniques and ideas for controlling and mastering it. Whether you're a beginner in screenwriting or a professional seeking to improve your tools, understanding rhythm will add depth to your creative skills.
