Touching the Void (2003)

This is not even a Movie!!!

[2/10 · 14 May 2004]

I watched this movie during the Mar Del Plata's International Film Festival last March here in Argentina. This film was one of the selected movies for the Official Competition. The first thought that came to my mind after watching it was -"what the hell is doing a discovery-channel documentary type in the official competition of an International Film Festival?" I started feel boring after the first 20 minutes... The images never bring something new or relevant after the words of the characters telling us the story... I mean, it's like first we listen what happened and right after we watch it over and over again... I never feel moved by the story... there's no passion in the way that this characters tell us their adventure... I think that we should know more about the guy who stayed at the bottom of the mountain waiting for them... The director shows him a couple of times but it's not enough... mmm... what else? well I just didn't like it, and for me it looks more like a product made for the TV than a Movie that deserves a place in the Official Competition section of an "A class" Film Festival...

Not recommendable...

Um Filme Falado (2003)

Worst movie I've seen this year

[1/10 · 10 May 2004]

I watched this movie during the Mar Del Plata's International Film Festival 2004 here in Argentina... it's hard to explain the sensation i had when the lights turned on in the theater... i couldn't belive how bad is this movie and the way it changes its genere in the end... Besides while i was watching it i was thinking: - Please some one to stop this little girl making stupid questions!!!... I'm a film student here in Argentina and i think this movie is not even at the level of the projects we do here in the 1st year.... except for the money that has been spent for producing it...

Terrible movie... not recommendable at all
