Grieta en la oscuridad (2013) User Reviews

a sort of story

[Kirpianuscus · 11 February 2024]

A young succesfull writer . The succes of his mentor after a five years silence. A dispute of disciple against his buddies , supporting , with some envy touch, the return and succes of the professor.

Beautiful acting, impressive cinematography, not bad crafted thrill.

The only problem - the end is far to be the convincing one. Sure, relation teacher - student and the fascination of the last but it is just a magic show without final.

Indeed, the viewer can improvise some explanations but the director seems put the groceries in kitchen and ignore them and the reference to Mefisto- Faust relation did not just works.

But , sure, a beautiful film. Maybe, it is just enough for part of audience.

30,000 Euros for a short film, gentlemen...

Very good photography, art direction, lighting, settings, performances that could be improved, but the script... bad. Our lead does nothing but distract us until we find that "final twist" (which I won't say) that yes, surprises you, but leaves you with more doubts than anything else. When the end of the short came I was like, "What happened?" "Why has that happened?" No reason? Once again I think I have come across another project for which I would have to ask the scriptwriter or the director to explain everything briefly, since it seems that they are the only ones who have understood it. And that is a big problem when doing a project. If the creators are the only ones who end up understanding the project, that's a very bad sign... And on top of that, as I already said in the title, this short film cost 30,000 euros. Budget that many of us dream of to do projects to which they never open the doors... Next time I would give the money to someone who knows how to write scripts that do not leave the public with more questions than answers.
