3.0 out of 5 stars
Neither love it nor hate it, February 19, 2008
This review is from: Vivir Mata (Life Kills) (DVD)
The film stars Susana Zabaleta (Sylvia) ("
Sexo, Pudor y Lagrimas") and Daniel Giménez Cacho (Diego). Sylvia is supposed to meet an artist and interview him for her radio show. She confuses Diego as the artist and he lets her believe he is because he finds her attractive. They end p sleeping together and both feel this may be the start of something. But, they have a falling out in the morning once the truth is revealed. Throughout the day, each questions their motives and decisions and must come to the conclusion as to whether ...give it a chance.
The film is not...well, riveting, nor well put together. Rather, it is a mish-mash of scenes all thrown together in an attempt to make a movie. This may be the result of the filmmaker attempting to use surrealism to introduce symbolism and other elements into the movie. This attempt may have met with more success had the movie been well-edited and had a way to fill all those scenes that made you feel indifferent to the movie.
The acting is not bad. I like Susana Zabaleta because I find that the way she acts is always refreshing, carefree, and always manages to give you that innocent "oops" face. I kinda liked it, I honestly have not decided yet. I think I just like Zabaleta in the movie.
