Un 32 de agosto en la Tierra

Intencionalmente sin presión sobre las emociones, de manera a veces cómica y cautivadora visualmente a lo Villeneuve (ese tipo nació para el género de ciencia ficción), cuenta una historia de amor oculto a través de una corta excursión de película de carretera. La pareja Él-Ella no es homogénea y por eso más interesante. Sentimientos con los que te identificas y que muchas veces no experimentas durante una película. Curiosidad por cómo termina la situación planteada. Agradable. (24.06.2015)

A rare case where the main duo is unappealing at the beginning, later relatively pleasant, and in the end, almost maddening in their vitality and distinctiveness. And it's all thanks to a name that I would have never guessed was in the director's chair, at least in the first act. Denis Villeneuve, younger, more straightforward, his first full-length film – and perhaps more broad and surprising than you would expect from a renowned perfectionist. Creating a cohesive romance at the age of around thirty requires a certain amount of naivety; in this case, the need to shoot or wrap it in the most absolute and youthful manner. I quite enjoy the combination of archetypal characters, new wave chattiness, and appropriately polished technical aspects. If it weren't for the fluctuating pace, I would be completely overcome by such a self-assured debut, but the journey to masterpieces was still a long way off. (26.04.2022)
