Let me start by saying that the cinematography of this piece is delicious; very well thought and executed in the reds, the light and the wrapping and sensual darkness. Interestingly, this description could also be used for trying to make sense of how the main character is constructed. Carlitos's personality doesn't take a lot of hues, only the ones that feel right in any given situation, and that is a rare and welcomed attempt to getting close to whatever shape authenticity might take in the social structure.
Lorenzo Ferro's acting is hypnotizing; I found myself smirking at the screen at some scenes in which he was just doing his thing; being himself next to someone, as if the other person didn't really exist (or as if it didn't make a difference if they were there or not).
