CGiii Comment

The good point...the photography.

The bad points...almost everything else.

45 minutes (and more) could have been cut out of this without damaging the non-existent narrative - it would have helped to create a credible story...

...Senor Hernández - apologies - but, you are not a writer - the 'solar spore' line is simply embarrassing - the absolute nadir of a self-indulgence, a totally pretentious script. Technically, it is impressive.

But...style without content...only makes for an overly long, dreary fiasco of pretty pictures. Or...maybe we are too stupid to understand it all!

The(ir) Blurb...

Emiliano looks at his life with the eyes of a film director, mixing the objective reality with the processes of the artistic creation. The story he is filming flounders with his daily life, until his world is trapped in the lens of his camera. Confused, always alone and in front of a screen, now become a transfigured reality, but at the same time a measurable, controllable and manipulable one, he listens in loop to a song: one of those songs you sing or repeat as a prayer and forcing you to remember, believe and convince yourself.
