Xavier Donoso's review:
"Esperanza ("Hope"), a Spanish tourist girl, and Tristeza ("Sadness"), an Ecuadorian student, they met inside a bus going to Cuenca, city to which they want to arrive but motivated by different reasons. On the road they face with a national strike - blocking highways and roads. Both girls decide to continue the itinerary looking for somebody can take them at least to the nearest town. Through the travel they'll begin to know each other deeply, as well as they will know a little more Ecuador country and its people in a trip that it should last a few hours, but --the things of the life-- their destiny will be farest from it could seem.
'Qué tan Lejos' (How much Further) is a road movie created by Cuencan director Tania Hermida, who has been able to portrait Ecuador from an Ecuadorian point of view and a tourist's one, whose "reality readings" of the country are very different. The great success in the history is showing along the trip an Ecuadorian identity quite near to the daily thing, without falling in stereotypes or people's cartoons, observing characters, situations and very real dialogues. Those which the public some time has been rounded more than once. Exactly this element hooks the spectator, causing several laughs due to its healthy and autochthonous sense of humor. Perhaps a little complicated for understanding to foreigners, but at the same time, shows facts that sometimes we prefer do not see as political uncertainty, migration and poverty.
The travelers are Cecilia Vallejo (Tristeza - Sadness) and Tania Martínez (Esperanza - Hope), who took the reins of this movie with a lot of security, and credibility. Their characters fit perfectly in the plot showing as common and pleasant people; we could be in any street with them or we'd be likely friends. The girls learn from each other some things of the life, but other characters also did. They are interpreted with a lot of naturalness by Francisco Aguirre (Jesús) and Fausto Miño (Andrés). They add a new and comic vision of the trip. Along the movie it's evident the great chemistry among each one of the actors of the cast, also supported by characters of smaller importance, and very well interpreted, since they help to know something more than the context of each stop.
The trip gives the opportunity to listen an impeccable and very Ecuadorian sound track with themes through the 8 provinces that they cross. Their natural beauty is exploited by an excellent photography, where the main characteristic is the solitude and tranquility of the landscapes, they cause desires of traveling immediately through them.
'Que tan Lejos' is an amusing and authentic portrait of the Ecuador. The director has been able to give life to a true product of local cinema and not only something filmed in Ecuador. We get great satisfaction when we're seeing a film with identity. The director includes in her history this amusing advice a couple of opportunities: 'Take care from Cuencans'...(director is from Cuenca)"
DVD quality (sound and image) is very good.
