Pointless

The only reason to watch this is the beauty of Ana De Armas

Nice piece of work

Reminds me of when BMW had a bunch of well know film directors do short films that featured their lineup. This isn't quite to that level but is certainly more interesting than your standard commercial.

If you dont understand enter the red

I need to be honest, this short let me wondering what is really about the short movie and what messages behind it. We follow a young woman who start to dream to be desire of another man and we see also different parts of the mind, body and we still wondering the meaning of all this. But i need to say that the visuals were gorgeous and Ana de Armas is very beautiful and nice to see all along. And finally she become the singer that she really wanted to be and find herself in what she dreamed for. I found it pretty interesting and the woman at the beginning said that is all about passion. I found this short pretty nice and let the possibility to rewatch again and maybe understand more what happened.

Worth seeing for the music

It is worth watching because of the music played at the beginning and end of the film: 3000 miles - CHAMPS.

Entering mediocrity

"Entering Red" is an Italian English-language short film from 2019, so very recent release and this one was directed by Matteo Garrone, which made me a bit curious because I really enjoyed Dogman not too long ago. There's three writers on board here, which is really a lot as the film is only slightly longer than 12 minutes. The trio is pretty prolific and successful, but it would have been a surprise had they cast rookies there with a man like Garrone behind the camera. Lead actress and the only big name in the cast here is Ana de Armas known mostly for the Oscar-winning recent Blade Runner movie. Anyway, this one here is something entirely different. It is basically a very long commercial for alcohol manufacturer Bacardi and it is the third one I believe. They did 2 others in recent years always casting a big-name lead and an above-average famous director and this one here is no exception. The one thing that was lacking here, however, despite all these experienced writers, was a real story. But that is not not uncommon for these long, very artistic commercials. Started back in the day with Clive Owen for BMW and has not really changed into one direction since then. A bit of a pity. Still, there are aspects I liked here. The use of the color red was handled wisely most of the time. Also the music was pretty good and I enjoyed the song and performance early on and near the end. But on the downside I must say almost 3 minutes of closing credits for a film of under 12.5 minutes is just too much honestly. Overall, not a very close call. I give this one a thumbs-down. Hey, it did not even get me thirsty, so they sure did something wrong?

Interesting

I found the concept, the music and Ana interesting and infectious. While other's complained, I rather enjoyed the storyline.

A masterpiecce

[josedavilar · 22 June 2021]

Ana de Armas is gorgeous in this short. The dialogue is made by the looking of the actors, there is not needed to add more lines.

The photography is all combined with red it creates a cool atmosphere, such a beauty, this short is a masterpiece.

Nonsensical, pretentious drivel

[snackie · 1/10 · 21 June 2019]

The subject line sums it up. So much money spent. A wonderful actress. All in service to a vacuous "storyline".
