Saturday, Oct. 18th - This film reminds me of The Godfather, The Long Hot Summer or of early Brando movies. It is about family and disfunction. It is also about rivalry, passion, genius and what drives one person to succeed and prevents others from going anywhere. It is a black and white film but is rich in location, (Buenos Aires) costume, music and the artistic process. The relationships are deep and complex: brother vrs. brother, fathers and sons, lovers, friends, as Zorba said, "the whole catastrophe.." Additional drama is provided through tragedy - opera, masks, broken dolls and car accidents. Will the play ever be finished? Who will write the ending? There is possibility through love and connection.
It was so good!
