The Age of Commercialism
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
La Leyenda (2008), a.k.a. The Legend (2008), is a really weird DVD. First of all, the synopsis on the back of the case has absolutely not the slightest connection with this movie at all. True, the photos are those of the stars, Pablo Rago as young Milliardi, Benjamin Rojas as his stop-at-nothing rival, and the lovely Leonora Rojas as the girl in between. The credits, however, are not those of this movie either. It was actually directed (masterfully too!) by Sebastián Pivotto, not by Eric Brevig, from a cleverly twisting script by Alejandro Ocón and Chavo D'Emilio, not by Michael Wess, Mark Levin and some indecipherable Jemmifer (Jennifer?) Flaciett (?). So it's actually not a film noir – as the DVD promised – but a racing car picture, but far and away superior to any that Elvis Presley ever made. Admittedly, I'm not a fan of the Presley meanwhile-back-in-the-nice-comfortable-studio oeuvre but this is really gritty stuff. Looks like the real thing. Exciting too!
