An Argentine short film that is quite entertaining due to its comedy, thought-provoking messages, editing, songs, and a strong critique of the current music industry. It's formidable because of that great variety of images.
"PAPOTA" is a unique experience because it surprises at every moment with its comedic essence, which is quite entertaining due to its execution. CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso are really good, to be honest. Making this short film to promote their EP and offering much more in the cinematic aspect gives a lot to talk about positively.
In my experience, this is enjoyable, but if you look at it from a constructive perspective with very clear messages to highlight, it's even better. "PAPOTA" takes you on that roller coaster of scenarios within today's music careers, where both the positive and negative points are highlighted, with much emphasis on the latter.
Constructive criticism deserves applause. It's like capturing all that energy of a music video through its sequences of images, cuts, environments, focuses, and more, but with a special addition from the protagonists. Director Martín Piroyansky shines in every moment. He adds a very entertaining cinematic potential; each way of emphasizing various characteristics for each character is crucial to the overall context.
Cover topics such as songwriting, an artist's image, the ease of creating a song, awards, controversies, social media, substances, the rise to fame, differences in ideals, criticism towards representatives and music companies, the use of artificial intelligence, and above all, the lack of traditional talent among artists from an urban perspective. Brilliant.
In the musical section, sensational. The songs are very catchy and complement the actions seen on screen just right, adding depth and solidity. The songs in this short film make more sense than those heard in Emilia Pérez's movie. To think about.
Good comedy, good sequences, great proposal, entertaining songs, and it definitely deserves a chance.
