Salma Hayek Pinault and directed by Rodrigo García (“Nine Lives”), in its second scene, Star Plus Productions’ “Santa Evita” has Dr. Pedro Aru arriving at Eva Perón’s home to embalm her corpse.Many directors would dispatch his arrival in brief transition shots.
García, however, uses eight – to capture the rain on he fateful day of July 26, 1952 (a shot from above of drenched black umbrellas packing out the screen), glimpse the poverty of the crowd lining the road and frame the first hints of Perón’s near sanctification in death with crowds keeping vigil outside the house’s gates, candles in hand.Previewed at Conecta Fiction, Episode One of “Santa Evita” weighs in as classic Disney Latin America adult audience fare, an heir to 2018’s “Selena’s Secret” and 2019 “Monzón.” A passion project of Mariana Pérez at The Walt Disney Company Latin America’s which has been 10 years in the making, “Santa Evita” is caringly crafted, studied in period and social detail, varied and pointed in shot set-ups and impeccably sound designed.It is also “true life fiction” – a phrase coined by TWDCLA’s Leonardo Aranguibel, an executive producer on the series with Pérez. Here the IP is Latin America’s most famous politician, Eva Perón, a perfect package of glamor, power, charisma and concern for Argentine’s toiling classes, who died at the age of 33.The seven-part series also carries a modern-day gender agenda, recording the stranger-than-fiction true story of how Eva Perón, even in death, is used and abused, mummified by her husband, President Juan Perón, to bulwark his slipping grasp on power, then sequestered by Argentina’s military regime which overthrew Perón in 1955.
