Nonureva Really Surprised!

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

rmarinone Finally something different and bold comes from South America. Elipsis is a puzzle that once you start playing with it, you want to complete it to see the big picture. This is a phenomenal feature debut from Arias-Nath whom I congratulate all the way from Mexico for taking such a big risk and offering a new voice to the film world. In addition to Arias-Nath's lyrical and comfortable direction, kudos must be given to the DP and the Art Director as well. I must say I also enjoyed the score very much. The colors are vibrant in this picture, contrasting the dark places the characters visit. Very cool. Edgar Ramirez (who's about to pop in Hollywood with The Bourne Ultimatum) does an amazing job in this film. Especially at the end, which unfortunately I can't reveal because if not, I will be giving out spoilers for no reason. The other lead, Erich Wildpret, is simply amazing. This actor has a bright future. The rest of the cast was very enjoyable, with Seu Jorge at the top of the list. What a presence this guy has. From Mexico I salute Arias-Nath and his hard-working team for revamping the Venezuelan cinema that is in desperate need of a face-lift. Great film. I want to see what Arias-Nath is working on next.

Diego M Don't waste your time on this one. Clever advertising and $$$ couldn't save this from being one of the biggest flops in the history of Venezuelan cinema. It has a weak script, bad acting and although it was beautifully filmed on HD, the movie looks like a Tide commercial. I gave it two stars just because Seu Jorge is in the movie. I find it incredible that people rate this with 10 stars. Is this really the best movie you have seen? Now I understand why Venezuelan cinema can be so mediocre, the lack of self criticism is incredible..... I f you want to see good Venezuelan films, watch El pez que fuma and Araya. Stay away from the rest.

Nelson Cordido This is one of the best Venezuelan movies of all times. The film shows the story of two successful young artists, Sebastian (Edgar Ramirez) and Gaul (Erich Wildpret). They are very good friends.Later they are falling in problems with drugs. Things are getting worse and complicated. The film has an unexpected end.In addition, everything is narrated of a fragmented way. This non-common style usually surprises the spectator with each scene.The film boasts an unforgettable opening when the police try to rescue a hostage and they kill the victim thinking that he was the thief.Overall this is a kind of bleak but challenging film

pupu_imu Seu Jorge plays a small part in this movie as a Brazilian drug-lord in Caracas, and it's probably only thing worth seeing (he sings a bit too). The movie is basically about two friends: Sebastian (Edgar Ramirez) a theater actor and Galo (Erich Wildpret) a gay fashion designer, and the relationship between them and others around them , in their careers' successes and failures, and how messed up life can get when you make stupid mistakes. The plot is not that bad actually, but the movie is told in an unnecessarily stupid non-linear style (ellipsis) with cheap special effects, very bad acting, and a cinematography that tries too hard to look like a fashion magazine instead of a crime drama, that end up being far too distracting to enjoy Seu's performance or the decent plot idea behind it. Still, i think Arias Nath made a good debut, he'll probably make better pictures, i just hope he focuses more on characters and plot rather than trying to make 'cool' or 'avant garde' stuff.
