A fost unul dintre cele mai bune filme vazute de mine in 2013 si am scris despre el in diverse randuri. A venit cu un seal of approval dinspre Andreea Gavriliuc, si-a asteaptat randul cateva luni de zile, dar a meritat. Monologul din startul peliculei e atat de coplesitor incat m-a facut sa-l urmaresc de cateva ori, in bucla. Chestie care mi se intampla foarte rar. In plus mi-a placut curajul lui Medianeras - sa incepi cu patru minute din off e riscant. Insa, legatura pe care o stabileste intre arhitectura orasului si starile intime ale personajului principal, mi-a taiat rasuflarea. Cand ceva incepe atat de bine, nu poate sa fie rau:
"Buenos Aires is growing uncontrollably and imperfectly. An overpopulated city in a deserted country. A city in which thousands of buildings rise into the sky. Arbitrarily. Next to a tall one, a small one. Next to a rational one, an irrational one. Next to a French one, one with no style at all. These irregularities probably reflect us perfectly. Esthetic and ethical irregularities. These buildings, which adhere to no logic, represent bad planning. Just like our lives: We have no idea how we want them to be. We live as if Buenos Aires were a stopover. We've created a "culture of tenants". The buildings are becoming smaller to make space for even smaller ones. Apartments are measured by their number of rooms and range from five rooms with balconies, playrooms, servants' quarters and storerooms to one-room apartments also known as "shoeboxes". Just like almost all man-made objects, buildings are made to differentiate between us. There's a front and a back side. High and low apartments. Privileged people have the letter A or sometimes B. The farther back in the alphabet, the worse the apartment. The promised view and brightness rarely coincide with reality. What can be expected of a city that turns its back on its river? I'm convinced that separations, divorces domestic violence, the excess of cable TV stations, the lack of communication, listlessness, apathy, depression, suicide, neuroses, panic attacks, obesity, tenseness, insecurity, hypochondria, stress and a sedentary lifestyle are attributable to architects and builders. I suffer from all of these illnesses except suicide."
Reteta obisnuita pentru o comedie romantica cere un El si o Ea care se intalnesc, depasesc obstacole si finalizeaza povestea intr-un sarut. Argentinianul la debut in lungmetraj Gustavo Taretto isi propune insa sa povesteasca despre cum El si Ea, desi trec de nenumarate ori unul pe langa celalalt, nu se intalnesc. Despre bolile reale si inchipuite pe care lumea nebuna in care traim, la Buenos Aires sau la Bucuresti, le arunca in carca indivizilor. Despre aglomeratie, kitsch si despre refugiile pe care oamenii sunt nevoiti sa si le gasesc. Filmul aluneca intr-o maniera dulce-amara catre o drama cu un pic de greutate sociala si amana chinuitor de mult un posibil moment al fericirii personale. Mie mi-a adus un pic cu Amelie. Asta pentru ca se sprijina pe doua personaje deloc normale, dar simpatice, dialoguri smart si un spirit de observatie, via cateva monologuri, desavarsit.
