Pretentious, gayly and saved by an ice pick

[SMabres · 1/10 · 6 September 2015]

A very pretentious film full of meaningless extravagance, such as the use of Pinot Noir as a super wine, when it is not better than any other wine variety, I do note get it unless the producer has a Pinot Noir franchise.

A great cast that with few exceptions, are fighting at the edge whether they are in a movie or a play, the whole movie is saved by the excellent performance of Leticia Brédice and Alfredo Casero, both do what performers should do: Entertain us and make us laugh.

The whole idea of the story is not bad one but is so much exaggerated and badly implemented. Where Homosexuality, greed, jealousy, death and lies displayed in a gallery of five acts, four of them uncomfortable, predictable and overloaded with rococo ornaments and glitteries.

The influence of Pepe Cibrian Jr. shows in every gesture, every exaggerated way to tell the story.

Excellent Casero, Brédice, and Gypsy Bonafina music

I did not like this movie.

The virtues and human misery, mixed and served in an evocative table of the Last Supper. Love, hate, life, death, jealousy, loyalty, selfishness, ambition, betrayal, greed, pride, lust and so many other things surrounding the life of all human beings, simply unfold through impressive performance of all actors in this casting spectacular. The dialogs are recommended. The music is recommended. The stories are recommended. The surprise and turns of the story are recommended then ... How not recommend this movie! If you intend to observe the privacy of this place, as do the protagonists and discover a new place from which to explore all inherent in the human being, accompanying the good champagne, good wine and good music spot with the mystery surrounding each and every one of the stories, do not stop watching this film especially in cinema, with magic and focus that allows you to the big screen.

Overall a really good movie

I watched this movie despite the low rate and I was very well surprised. The story is original and well told. Very well produced, very well performed by an amazing casting and the music was great. I disagree with the low rating and some other comments, I think it is a movie worth watching. I recommend it.

My only problem with it is the unnecessary bad language and violence. Insults and unjustified aggression seemed like an uncreative way to resolve some situations. It is just not smart. I expected more elegance from characters that intend to represent a sort of Argentinean "bourgeoisie". We already see enough violence and swearing in American movies and TV show! Leave it to them. You can do better.

ps: impossible to find subtitles as with so many Argentinean and foreign movies...
