Der Blonde

It was slow and repetitive at times, with little dialog, but this helped draw out the story somehow. And then you had bursts of dialog here and there, shedding light into the characters. The end came kind of suddenly, at first disappointing, but then surprisingly heart-warming, despite the previous sad development. Overall a quiet, sweet film.

I could relate to this story and I think it happens a lot. Two men in love with each other, but at different stages of dealing with their own. I thought the acting was first rate. And the ending, if not happy, at least felt satisfying.

... but still a little masterpiece on the subject of frustrating and even emotionally abusive relationships. I m only giving it 8 stars because of a few unnecessarily long scenes and a pace which is a bit slow for my taste. The performances are superb, though, and the cinematography, consisting of continuous close ups capturing every kind of emotion in all its details, is particularly inspired and effective. The ending is out of this world, literally! It offers an unexpected climax that only adds to the frustration and secures the viewers' empathy. This whole film is romantic drama at its best!

The quiet scenes could capture all the emotions, sensuality, desire, tension, passion, nervousness and love in the air. Bravo! Both actors are super talented, especially "the blond one". I just enjoyed the whole time watching it, to me it told a love story between two flatmates, the outcome of this story is not as important and amusing as how every details of it happened.

Argentina has really surprised me with its gay themed films, this is another good one, slow a few times but worth seeing how the characters get involved, the end is real and it can be related to a lot gay/bi men.

Solid 8 stars.
