jaroslaw99 I read many glowing reviews about this and was very disappointed. This movie made so little sense in many ways. I can't write a review without spoilers. OK this was supposedly a romance and the men hadn't seen each other since childhood. Indeed they didn't even recognize each other. Rather than have so many extra long shots where one or both leads are staring at who knows what, and sparse dialogue, how about more reminiscing and/or playing catch up and maybe the audience would have a clue why they fell in love. The stoning of the cat with no remorse was really distasteful to me and invalidated their supposed sensitivity. There was way too much "cat and mouse" with the physical stuff too. Eugenio places Martin's hand on his heart after the run and....nothing. They play around in the lake doing touching things straight men would not likely do and....nothing. Martin stares at Eugenio's crotch several times, they finally end up in bed together, albeit after partying, Eugenio rubs Martin's crotch (over his pants) and....Martin gets out of bed.FINALLY at almost the end Martin kisses Eugenio, and Eugenio just repeats "no". Why? No explanation here. Somehow in the remaining few minutes they reunite, also no explanation.So the photography and scenery were very nice; both leads attractive esp. Martin although Eugenio needed a different style of glasses.Here's an idea - why not interview several long term Gay couples and make a composite romantic story instead of illogical plots like this one?
masergela I've watched the movie itself. And in my opinion, though it wasn't good, neither bad at all. Noticed that there are scenes, I guess, were there with no apparent reason as it has no conversation at all. The actors were merely looking at each other, viewers could not imagine to what they were thinking or trying to portray and for which that scene was? Aside from the very slow character development, it misses to give more emphasize on the climax of the story. Honestly, I was left hanging. I would recommend it to my friends and I did enjoy it as a whole. I can somewhat relate to the story, if not the film was made in Argentina, I would say that, it's a copycat of my own life story. Honestly, I fell in love with the character of Mateo Chiarino (Martin), very manly and appealing to the story. Hope to see more of Mateo's movies.
IanRusk One of my favorite gay films ever. A charming tale about a young man (Martín, played by Mateo Chiarino) who is down on his luck, homeless and poor much of his life who returns to his birth town and randomly goes to work for a childhood friend (Eugenio, played by Manuel Vignau) as a handy man. The wealthy Eugenio, who is gay, takes a liking to the attractive Martin and eventually provides him with clothes and a place to stay. Eugenio subtly hits on Eugenio, who is seemingly blind to the advances. Both characters are deftly played, very nice directing and a storyline that at times is suspenseful. Won't give a spoiler but the ending is worthy sticking around for. Very enjoyable movie! Parental alert: frontal nudity by both actors, but not overboard with it.
xscd ¡Qué buena película! Although it's very slow and the "music" is a little distracting at times, especially during the extended beginning sequence, this is an excellent Spanish-language gay-themed movie from Argentina.The camera and director linger on small details and gestures, and create a very credible atmosphere and true tension and drama despite very little dialog.I enjoyed this movie so much that I almost immediately watched it again. Perhaps not for those who prefer fast-paced action movies, I found this movie to be very engaging, interesting and fulfilling.Highly recommended.
