* It may contain spoilers but I don't think so.
"Impulsos" is a strange film! One day on a subway station a man purposefully pushes someone in front of a moving train. Everyone supposes this to be an accident, but a girl saw the victim being pushed to his death. She contacts the killer and starts to blackmail him. This is the beginning of a very strange relationship. She doesn't know why she's doing it and what she really wants from him. He is a serial killer that kills for his own pleasure and doesn't feel any regrets or guilt about what he's doing. She is looking for love and... death. A dangerous and bizarre relationship!
The film tells a straightforward story but doesn't pass any moral judgement. We are left drifting on our own with no road signs to tell us what to feel. There's no one to root for. People are not used to it! The serial killer doesn't feel guilt and even the girl, in spite of her speech, doesn't really care for his killings - she's got other things to worry about. And even the end of the film is left open.
Many films lead us through a comfortable road of good feelings. This one gives us an interesting story, a good cinematography and good acting. So switch off the moral textbook installed in your mind and you might enjoy the film. I don't know myself if I liked the film or not, but it certainly disturbed me. Not a film for everyone.
