Review of Whisky

Whisky (2004)
7/10
Dry whisky...
28 February 2006
There are some people , such as the main character in "Whisky" that have become in such emotional disabled people: they can love and (what's worst) they can't be loved. They cling to their routine, maybe a job in a factory, they live a grey existence. They don't want to suffer anymore, so they shield themselves against the world. Any attempt to communicate to someone like that is in vain, and you run the risk of getting hurt.

"Whisky" ain't an easy-watching movie, in any possible way: short and static sequences in which we can almost hear the tic-tac of the clock. Such a slow rhythm that intends to give the audience that feeling of boredom in the character's lives.

Besides, there're no big revelations in here, there's no catharsis, no teaching... So this dry Whisky (not on the rocks) is only for the most patient, for those who are used to bitter things. The rest of you may hate this...
