"Heartango" is a 6.5-minute live action short film from 2007, so this one has its 10th anniversary this year. The director is Gabriele Muccino who is mostly known for his collaborations with Will Smith. The two writers have never worked on another project before or after this film. The only male actor here is José Fidalgo and I guess only Portugiese may recognize him. The star here is of course Monica Bellucci and she plays several characters or I should perhaps say characteristics (in women). These characters interact with each other in one way or another. But story-wise, it just isn't working out at all, even if the concept idea is somewhat interesting. As a whole, it is really just a better ad (for intimissimi). Is that an underwear manufacturer? I am not sure. But I am sure that without the name Bellucci (and maybe Muccino) this film would be pretty much forgotten by now, a decade later. I personally give it a thumbs-down. Not recommended, even if I will admit that I was surprised how hot Monica Bellucci also looks as a blonde. Wow! Maybe her best look in the entire thing. Did not expect that. Oh yeah, the song is fine too I guess.
