Oh dear….
So, Regarding Buenos Aires (A proposito de Buenos Aires). Pants. Elasticated nylon brown pants.
So disappointing.
The film festival notes that “eleven new Argentinian filmmakers merge their talents and perspectives to deliver a quizzically enigmatic portrait of BA considering a conceptual presence rather than precise geography. In the manner of Vigo’s A propos de Nice.”
So, in film festival terms, quizzically enigmatic means rubbish you can’t understand.
One woman was so disgruntled that she asked for a complaint form. The reason being I guess that the international consultant (okay, dream job there, watch films, pick films) was very enthusiastic about the film as he introduced it. What he didn’t say, and maybe he should have, was this:
The film you’re about to see is missing a few elements: Plot, characters, a sense of narrative and any redeeming factors. Even the locations they chose are dull and depressing.
