Reviews

FilmCriticLalitRao A viewer can expect a lot in terms of action and plot from a film about a prisoner who has been released from a prison.However,there are films which give the impression of visual stories where a lot happens even though viewers are unable to make sense of those happenings.In such films,a conjuring effect is created according to which nothing seems to happen but in reality a lot of minor events are shown to happen at regular intervals in the film.It is from such an angle that viewers can watch "Los Muertos" directed by talented Argentinian filmmaker Lisandro Alonso.The ruthlessness with which two murders are committed in the beginning lead viewers to believe that mystery and suspense would be evident through the film.This belief is quickly contradicted when the film begins to concentrate more on daily life of the protagonist.The result is good for eyes but fails to fulfill the expectations of the mind.Los Muertos is not an experimental film.It is a normal feature film which any ordinary viewer would like to watch.

ajrg-17-381639 Boring, long takes, pretentious as hell, pointless, ambiguous end. A waste of time only a full of himself critic would say he enjoyed. Nice photography. Zero plot, an effort at no character development and I do not mean this metaphorically or that they tried and failed. Almost no dialog.The supposed story is of a man who kills his brothers gets out of jail and is on his way to see his daughter. It sounds better than the movie is. One wonders if the director was a self indulgent asshole since he photographs each scene in what appears to be real time, or if he was an eight year old.

dmtls The film start.Place : somewhere in South America.The strange odyssey of a mysterious man of some age begins here.He sets off for a journey. Few characters on his way, almost no talking.The unwelcoming natural environment always present.Some really spectacular scenery. The movie goes on in the same slow pace from the beginning to the end. Two or three scenes are a bit loose and for me boring but otherwise the speed it's OK.It helps to create atmosphere and makes it look like a ritual.And ritual I think is the keyword for this strange and "unfriendly" film.Then comes the unexpected end to leave all questions unanswered.It's a real creepy movie that crawls underneath your skin whether you want it or not.If you are in for odd films do not miss this one.

dragonpenchant This is an unapologetic slow burner of a movie. Its mysterious opening, sumptuous cinematography and wonderfully natural performances take on some of the burden left by the almost complete absence of dialogue or traditional narrative. Although, I admittedly felt antsy and uneasy at some points and you'll no doubt be asking yourself somewhere along the journey: "where's this going" or more impatiently perhaps "what's the point". I'm still not sure i have those answers, but this film definitely gets under your skin after you've left your seat. Speaking of which, I implore you to not leave that seat before all the credits have rolled. The accompanying music is simply amazing.
