Gonzalo Arijon - La sociedad de la nieve aka Stranded: I've Come from a Plane That Crashed on the Mountains (2007)

imdb user comment:
Touching DocuDrama of human survival., 23 January 2008
10/10
Author: maxitaloafrican from United Kingdom

This is an excellent, respectful piece of work. It made me feel as if I were there and challenged my preconceptions of this story. It's much better than the film from 1993 "Alive" which tended to sensationalise. Do try to see it, you will be a better person for it.

Says the Telegraph: "They smelled of the grave," says a Chilean shepherd as he describes his first encounter with some of the survivors of the infamous 1972 plane crash in the Andes which hit the headlines with its tales of cannibalism. Gonzalo Arijón's dramatised documentary recalls the aftermath of a snowstorm that caused a plane carrying 45 members of a Uruguayan rugby team to crash in the appropriately named Valley of Tears. Sixteen of them survived by eating the dead, an "intimate communion" movingly recalled in the reminiscences of the survivors. It makes for a well-crafted, powerful film about human survival."

Guillermo Casanova - El Viaje hacia el mar Aka A Trip to the Seaside (2003)

They depart in a broken down freight truck, property of RODRÍGUEZ, a taciturn man who loves the sea. Their point of departure is a local bar, and at the last minute, an unknown man from the bar joins their adventure.

Álvaro Brechner - Mal día para pescar aka Bad Day to Go Fishing (2009)

http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/2310/pescar.jpg

Quote:

Jacob van Oppen, the former strongest man on earth, and his manager Orsini, who calls himself "the Prince", make a good living by traveling around small South American towns and organizing wrestling exhibitions. Arriving in Santa Maria, they are met with uncommon enthusiasm, the local newspaper wants to sponsor the fight, helping hands placard the town with posters, and an open call is made for a worthy adversary. Ever so resourceful, Orsini knows how to find the right combatant, but fishing in Santa Maria could lead to a bigger catch than he'd hoped for.

Álvaro Buela - Alma mater (2004)

Description: 34-year-old Pamela is a small and shy woman. She works at the cash register of a supermarket. She attends a religious temple led by a Brazilian minister. She periodically visits her autistic mother. She is an anonymous character, leading a meaningless life. Suddenly, a miracle occurs. Messages of a marvelous destiny start to reach Pamela in unusual ways: a client, a gentle and charismatic transvestite, her own mother, dreams, bar codes, real and imaginary signals. The Savior of the Next Millennium is apparently on his way and everything indicates that she, being a virgin, is carrying him on her entrails. Impelled to face herself, Pamela undertakes an inner voyage. A paradoxical voyage: the more mystic she grows to be, the more human she becomes

César Charlone & Enrique Fernández - El Baño del Papa aka The Pope's Toilet (2007)

http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/6656/elbaodelpapajw4.jpg

quote:
In 1988 the Pope made a journey to South America, getting as far as Melo, a down-at-heel little town near the border with Brazil, where he was to address a mass meeting of the faithful. A frenzied media imagines how many thousands of people will pour in to attend, especially more affluent folk from over the border. And this gives the townspeople an idea. These pilgrims will want to eat, won't they? And drink, and buy souvenirs, toys, sweets... What an opportunity! Foremost among these budding once-in-a-life time entrepreneurs is an affable bunch of small time smugglers, family men all, who fetch things like soap and batteries over the border by night on their bikes for the local shop. Beto is their leader, feckless and likeable, with a sensible wife and bright daughter who has ambitions to leave the town and become a journalist rather than her mapped out fate of going to ‘sewing school'. While the rest of the town go crazy on chorizo-making, baking, blowing up balloons, building barbecues, buying up sugar for candy floss, Beto hits on the best idea yet - a public toilet outside his house.
Never mind that he has to bring back first a door, then a toilet bowl on his bike from over the border, he's soon training up his wife and daughter to welcome the customers and dish out measured amounts of paper and make sure no one lingers too long in the services. Grainy, realist-style cinematography contribute to the feel of hard lives lived nevertheless with dry humour and many sweet moments of pleasure. When things go other than to plan, it's truly hurtful to see good people uplifted and dashed down again by the whim of the wider world.

Juan Pablo Rebella & Pablo Stoll - 25 Watts (2001)

http://www.turkcealtyazi.org/images/poster/0280381.jpg

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0280381

Description: Three teenage guys try to figure out what they're supposed to be doing with their lives in this comedy from Uruguay that puts the emphasis on character over narrative. Javi has landed a job driving a sound truck that plays the same radio spot for pasta all day long, while his buddy Leche, who is supposed to be studying for his exams, instead finds himself having sexual fantasies about his tutor, and Seba is waylaid by a handful of small-time dope dealers when all he wants to do is go home and watch the porno movie he's just rented. 25 Watts' depiction of misfit teens helped it earn the Youth Jury Prize at the 2001 Rotterdam Film Festival.

Gigante

A charming story in a not so interesting film that has been collecting honors at 2009 Berlinale and 2009 San Sebastian fest. With all the major awards I was really looking forward to watch the movie and enjoy it, but didn’t happened as I found actors performances too forced and not conveying emotions at many times, the pace way too slow (and remember that I LOVE slow paced movies), not many visually interesting scenes and a director that still have to improve (a lot) his filmmaker skills as this great story deserved a better filmmaker and storyteller.

Yes the story is a really charming one-way falling-in-love story with nice feel good comedy and a happy ending that will please many. The story tells about Jara a heavyset supermarket security ward on the nightshift that slowly develops a “crush” for Julia, a night cleaning lady. The twist is that 30ish Jara is a BIG baby that totally behaves like a young kid, much like his twelve year-old nephew, so his “crush” is stalker-obsessive but totally harmless.

As a matter of fact the scenes that really annoyed me were the ones were the director tried once, twice and many more times to show that Jara was a harmless big kid in a grown-up man's body. I got it the first time. There was no need to constantly show that Jara was not a stalker and that his “crush” was a “puppy” love.

The only reason I watched until the end was because I wanted to know how the story ended and if it wasn’t for the story I would have stopped watching the film. Hmm, this talks about the power of an idea, but also tells about how the other variables in film-making are as important as the story idea.

I cannot recommend this movie.

Sigh.
