Caracoles en la lluvia

First off, the lead actor is incredibly handsome if you're into a tall dark and handsome look. This is an interesting film that would never work today (which is why they placed the storyline in 1989 and into the early 90's). The film is about a gorgeous male protagonist who is receiving anonymous letters from a male admirer and, I leave it at that so you can watch for yourself. Basically, the film is also about the lead character's struggle with his own sexuality. Beautifully filmed with a lot of beautiful male actors. The lead actor and the male actor in the park when they're on the bench together was pretty easy to look at. Great little film and one I'd watch again and again.

A nice little film about a gorgeous young man receiving letters in the mail from a male admirer who does not identify himself leaving the young man in question, who gets many admiring looks, suspecting/wondering about so many he comes across if they are the writer. On the surface he appears to be heterosexual as he has a wonderful girlfriend played very well by Moran Rosenblatt. The young man in question is portrayed by Yoav Reuveni who beyond being beautiful is also very good. He also apparently has no interest in being an actor as this film is at the moment 10 years old and he's never made another film since, which is a shame. As we see in flashbacks, when he was in the military, he has homosexual tendencies that he fights fiercely against. Sadly, that is the essence of this entire film. He is clearly bisexual and will probably spend the rest of his life battling this as the final scene sort of implies. It's actually a very abrupt, though interesting ending. The title is completely obscure. You find out where it comes from near the end of this film, but it doesn't have a thing to do with anything that preceded it as far as I could tell.

A story about fragility. Well crafted, good example of tension driving and the change of relation. But the basic virtue is the main actor. His body, his look, his fears, his memories. And, for many motives, seems to be the axis of film. His presence seems enogh for the ambiguity ruling this film about letters, their sender, memories from army and sexual confusion near the academic succes. The good story, at the first sigh, using fair the conflict of couple, few beautiful scenes, , nice acting, provocative subject, not , at first sigh, decent end but a faithful picture of a time and its traits.

A good film, probably only real criticism is that the main character seems to be taking his top off too much. Whilst that's not a problem, it seems to be at odds with the rest of the film.

I'm confused. And I'm still thinking about the whole storyline of the movie. But yeah, it's good! Still worth watching.
