Debaixo d'água

as each short film, it gives a concentrate story. the young man and his frustrations. the desire to ignore reality and become part of a group. the passion for sport. the temptation. and the games who redefine old problems. the only answer. and, maybe, a new beginning. short, a decent film. sexuality, rules of closed group, confession and the hope to have a precise purpose who impose new way to discover reality. good acting,eroticism , portrait of an age tension, air of many other films about same theme.it is not easy to criticize it or admire. because all is wheel known. because, except the emotions, for a short period one of the virtues, nothing defines its specificity. after the end, the good impression becomes fragile. the mixture of cruelty, sexuality, allusions seem be too much. and the story of leading character - only a pretext. sure, not surprising. only the old - it could be better.

This film I watched was ninety three minutes long and expanded greatly on the kernel of the short film originally released. That didn't make it better, in fact what was added was padding to titillate the viewer.

The erotic scenes had very little interest for me as I'm not into the type of "actors" playing the parts. These scenes were grafted on and although they did change the short film's storyline somewhat but not its conclusion they were more or less unrelentingly redundant.

I found none of the actors could act. Indeed, some of them were pretty poor in the skin on skin department too let alone conventionally saying their lines.

Watch the short version. That might be a better use of time.
