Lo que vendrá

I saw this film when it was released in Argentina. I remember it as a successful mixture of road movie, thriller and fantasy story with a beautiful atmosphere. There are many nice shots of central Buenos Aires during a chase scene. The film's star is Charly Garcia, the country's biggest pop music idol (at least he was then). He plays a male nurse and is the very active, somewhat quite surrealistic guardian angel of the main character, a young man who drives into town, gets severely wounded by riot police on horseback as an innocent bystander and has to be brought to safety for some obscure political or criminal reason. Charly Garcia composed a beautiful and sophisticated, atmospheric soundtrack I would very much like to purchase on CD.

I mostly only saw this movie because Charly Garcia did the soundtrack and co-stared in it. Actually, the whole thing felt like a really long music video, like "The Wall" maybe, only not as good. I did the like the cinematography a lot, and it was really nice to hear buenairense Spanish for a change, but overall the film seemed a little too incoherent for me to make much sense of it. The ending tied things together a bit more for me, but still not enough to redeem it. I guess I just expected a lot more from this movie. The only real surprise I got was seeing the angel Moroni in it about halfway through. I'm not sure, was that supposed to be symbolic, or did they just throw it in there to be cool?

A strong metaphor from the director of "Moebius". A good movie with an incredible camera angles! Concepts about politics, society and human nature in Argentina are very explicit in this film. The last sequence is incredible well shot considering that this is a low budget movie. The last dialogues are crucial to understand how he reconstructed them to conceive his next international awarded film "Moebius".

I'm afraid that this glance of the future, at least in Buenos Aires, Argentina, was quite accurate. A movie that mixes genres but with radical importance in the bizarre and creepy thing. Will you be afraid of the future? Mosquera predicted this 15 years ago with this motion picture. Mind control, citizens like aliens, etc. The weird movie I've ever seen. And the most intriguing part is that you will stay because you'll want to know how the movie is gonna end. Interesting performances (amazing Charly G.) The rest: fine. Worth a look. Look into my eyes, into their eyes... You'll see the future. Realistic, I'm afraid. Between 6 or 7 out of 10.
