Different road movie
18 April 2006
three people must, due to different reasons travel from their little town in the poorest region of Patagonia to the near city. In their travel we will watch their life, their expectedness and their hopes. An old man has been told that his dog is there. A tailor travels to flirt with a young widow and takes a cake for her child and a young housewife travel to win a prize in a TV program. All them will see that, usually, things never happen as are expected. this a different movie, with amateur actors, a directing very close, almost all only in close cuts, describing very well the characters and the places they go. They are not heroes nor losers, only, common people who have a little thing different in their routine. The movie is good at this, the characters building, how they are, what they want; However, the story is a little weak, it is only an excuse to show how are they; which makes the film a little boring, as in most of the film anything happens, just they are traveling. I had been told that it war great so I was a little disappointed, it is not a bad film but it is not as good as I expected (maybe I expected too much), it is depth and demands some quietness to take all the profit of it, it's good, but, in my opinion not as good as it is said.
