Yesterday a world for Julius was screened for the press, based on the emblematic novel by Alfredo Bryce Echenique. The director Rossana Diaz Costa He went to the cinema with Mayella Lloclla and the children Pamela Saco, Augusto Linares and Rodrigo Barba. “They have been very talented actors who have helped me build the character,” the actress who plays Vilma said at the conference.
The film is an adaptation of the novel from the point of view of the problems of Peru. In the film there is a story about abysmal differences, with shots of the most exclusive urbanizations, the middle class and the most vulnerable areas.
The director maintained that she also wanted to mention in the credits, in some way, her point of view. “But a movie does not change a country nor does it really change anyone’s life in depth. What I would like is for there to be a family dialogueLet the parents go with their children … In that dialogue about whether this country is racist, sexist and why these class differences. There is a wound in Peru that has not healed for many years ”.

The director of Trip to Timbuktu agreed with what was said by Fiorella de Ferrari, who plays Susan. The actress told us that the filmmaker “does justice” to Julius. “As it is an adaptation, it can have a reading. There’s a lot sexism, the power belongs to men at all levels. Vilma is a victim, but Susan is also a victim of her own social class, she does not decide, she finally does what Juan Lucas tells her. That came out naturally in the script. Julius is a sensitive child, in a way, he is on that side, because he realizes it ”.
Some of the scenes with more drama go through the work of Mayella Lloclla. After the conference we spoke for a few minutes with the actress sought by the media also for her participation in ‘The Queen of the South’. Lloclla, who has just seen the film at the premiere, says that when she read the script, she was moved. “Machismo continues, but 50 years ago women had it totally normalized. It has been very important to show that we continue to drag a lot of things ”.
The actress considers that the adaptation has a successful feminine look. “This is the first time a woman has directed me in the cinema. When I was summoned I said: ‘wow, it’s another vision, another perspective’. And the script had another meaning, I had not seen it that way when I first read the novel. But one keeps growing and understanding more ”.

For Mayella, see today Un mundo para Julius leaves a powerful message about women who work at home, especially those who come to try their luck in Lima. “I, without being from the province, started from the bottom. I am a descendant of the Piura mountains and I started working in a chifa to be able to study. Leaving your child in the care of another person, who has no relationship, is very important, it is a job with much more responsibility and society does not value them ”.
Due to timing issues, Magaly Solier could not record as Vilma and Mayella was summoned for the casting. Yesterday, the actress used social media to congratulate her colleague on winning a best actress award in Zurich. “I think that almost all Peruvian actresses identify with a star like her. Since I saw her in Madeinusa I said: ‘she’s fantastic’. Important directors of the world looked at her and she has known how to take advantage of it and has chosen good projects. I believe that he has opened the way for us and is leaving a legacy, I would like to follow in his footsteps. I come from Colombia and everyone says: ‘Peruvian actress, Magaly solier‘. I continue his career and I see the growth he has, I think they do not give it the importance that they should. I am very proud, she is a woman who has not left her roots ”.
