SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Let's be realistic.
it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Perhaps the best omnibus dark comedy ever made. This movie is funny, it explores some of the darker parts of humanity but it does so with so much wit and intelligence. It was a great hit in South America, and understandably so. Despite dark and cynical take on the human condition, the movie is lighthearted and highly watchable, and uncompromisingly original.
Within the first minute, I thought the Cinematographer, Javier Julia, is a master jeweler in the use of light. Every aspect of the production would fit that category. It was as the third story started that I realized I had seen this before, a couple of years ago. No matter. It deserves mention again, with enthusiasm. The writing in these stories reminds me of the slightly twisted black comedy mystery stories told on the old "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" a few decades ago. Only here there's no 'slightly'.
Watched last night at home with my wife . its was great
The entire film is in Spanish, but don't let that get in the way of see it. This is not just a good foreign film, but a really good film in general. Lately I've been wanting to seek out good foreign films to watch and see what other countries are doing since many of them are still struggling to develop their film industries and compete with Hollywood. Argentina, like South Korea, is apparently starting to become a power house in that regard. Now, about this film. It's different from what you normally see, because this isn't the typical narrative/3 ACT structured movie we all usually see. It's comprised of 6 short films all with the same themes of vengeance and violence. Very dark humor, for the most part, other than mainly one story that was pretty serious throughout. For many of these characters you do get somewhat attached to them, at least to the point where you're interested to see how things turn out for them, even though you'll only see them for 15-20 minutes - so good storytelling.TL;DR - Really good/different movie, strongly recommendFavorite segment...
