Script
The concept of Through Night and Day was initially written by Alessandra but due to conflict of schedule, she was not able to complete it. Her friend Noreen Capili helped her to complete the script.
Inquirer had the opportunity to interview Alessandra. According to her, “When I went there, it was snowing so hard, and everything was just white. And at the time, I was also doing a television series (“Since I Found You”), and I was taping every other day. I could only manage about 10 sequences.”
Cinematography and Direction
Veronica B. Velasco helmed the director seat. She was able to showcase the beauty of Baguio City and Iceland.
Her timing in comedy scenes were all smooth. Dramatic scenes were also well executed and were totally tear-jerking.
Conclusion
We have watched a lot of local and international movies this year but we can say that Through Night and Day left a mark on us.
We couln't say anything bad about Alessandra's performance as she delivered it with flying colors. We can see Meryl Streep through her. She's a versatile actress who can do different genres.
What we love about Alessandra is her choice of projects. She doesn't accept projects just to earn money but to showcase her talent for acting.
Alessandra did not carry the movie alone. Her onscreen partner, Paolo Contis also gave colors to the film. His portrayal as Ben was also something to look forward to.
The movie is divided in two parts. The first part will make you laugh while the second half will surely make you cry a lot.
