Pescador

When I watch a comedy, I've always felt like I got my moneys worth if I get a few belly laughs out of it. I definitely laughed out loud on enough occasions to feel this one is worth a watch. Filmed and written well, with enough adult insights to make the film more interesting, Pescador Is a fun little romp made even more fun by some unexpected musical and fantasy scenes that caught me by surprise.

Interesting how working with so very little this director managed to pull off this smart indie comedy. Good acting and writing kept me engaged throughout, right up to the surprising end. Check this one out. The awards well-deserved.

Unusual and interesting film. The story takes place in 1 central location with only 4 main characters, but remains entertaining for the entire runtime. It's a witty dramedy with layers of intrigue below the surface. Great cinematography and convincing acting.

Not a film for everybody, but if you want something a little avant-garde, you might give it a watch.

I loved the characters and got plenty of laughs. Dark comedy at its best as I was drawn in and sold! The cinematography was great and family gave me kudos for selecting a great Indy film for our weekly weekend watch!

A new genre of dark comedy was just born with this remarkable work from Writer Director Michael Erger. The most difficult element of true absurd-comedy, is to know how to work with the absurd without becoming silly. Only when it's played on a dramatic tone is when it works, and in Pescador it does work.

Pescador--Spanish for Fisherman--refers to its main character brilliantly played by Michael Erger, who is at all times "fishing for" that something that might help his girlfriend come out of her psychotic depression. The well written script is about an uncomfortable--beyond awkward--proposal during a regular barbeque get together . Its superb dialogues come to life by the impeccable work of an astounding cast that delivers them with such a dramatic intensity, that allows us at the same time to also explore several themes, namely existence, survivable , loyalty, love, respect, insanity and why not, humanity's stupidity at its best. I think this movie is brilliant, the technical aspects of it are top notch, and the musical part of it are impressively well done. From the humor of the lyrics, to the quality of the singers, the choreography, editing and direction. Amazing work! Kudos to everyone involved in this movie. Finally, there's a thin line between comedy and drama--where comedy is drama--and Pescador, never crosses that line but made that line thinner indeed.
