Movie review
From Time Out Online
The opening monologue and montage – a witty meditation on the relationship between Buenos Aires’ architecture and its culture – are promising indeed, but the film soon subsides into the kind of contrived quirkiness often found in a certain kind of American indie. Charting the (mainly romance-related) experiences of a neurotic web-designer (Drolas) and an architect emerging from a break-up (López de Ayala, familiar from ‘In the City of Silvia’ and ‘The Strange Case of Angelica’) – though neighbours, they never meet until the predictable can be put off no longer – the film is tiresome in its determination to be ‘different’ and ‘fresh’. Sadly, it’s neither, and its attempts to be funny, affecting and relevant are hardly more successful.Author: Geoff Andrew
