Stockholm

I loved this movie. I shed a tear. When I first saw the title I thought the action takes place in Stockholm. After watching the movie I realized that the title is probably referring to the Stockholm syndrome. I found it to be very touching. It perfectly described the superficiality in nowadays people interactions, how words lost a meaning and how something that is unimportant to us can mean so much to another person. I can say that it was a really good movie, because the producer didn't use eye candy tricks to make it enjoyable. The action happened in very few places, but the conversation between them was so meaningful and lacking clichés. I must also add that the actors were fabulous.

Do not be mislead by the title, the plot's action takes place in Madrid. The story is centered on a young man and a girl that meet at a party, and is very credible and well transmitted to the audience.

The man is a Latin charmer, the girl is a beautiful, simple, shy one. Do not think it will bore you, because unexpected things can and will happen.

I've seen the film in a festival, and it sure left me thinking about it for hours. I rate it with 8 because it is not a very complex/life changing story, it is a simple story that is well told.

For a well made, convincing story and great cinematography I place the film director in the same class as Almodovar and other great Spanish directors.

First of all, say that this film is a SPOA like I say always (strong piece of art). There's an incredible perfection between the plot and the technical direction things (takes, art direction, etc).

This film normally uses sequence shots for express all things in one, this makes you the feeling of being inside the house and get the same emotions of the characters.

I rate with 9 and not with 10 for his precipitate an unexpected final... too awesome anyways, makes you'll be reflecting about during hours. I've seen people rating the film so bad just for the plot, but this is alternative cinema!! It's normal that surrealist or strange character reactions, plots, stories, etc like this, because the principal function is voice the point of view of the director from the cameras.

Finally, said that the most impressive thing is the contrast of the two parts of the film (from the stages to the perfect change of roles), and how characters are involved.

that is its huge virtue - the fresh air. the music, the images, the dialog. as bricks/crumbs/pillars of it.that detail does it great. because it is piece from a tradition, precise and poetic, cruel and sadness, a Rubik cube and perfect gem.nothing original, at first sigh. a war who reminds Bergman movies.but... the dialog seems be mathematical calculated. the music is the wise choice. the two actors - the best opportunity for discover the smart, nuanced performance. it is beautiful and, in same measure, high useful. a film for remember and discover. fascinating for its minimalism. and for the sides of same case. must see it ! maybe,as a kind of refuge out of blockbusters waves.

It begins with a young, Javier Pereira, attempting to get a beautiful girl , Aura Garrido, he met at a party to like him. As two twenty and some young people share an unlikely meeting. He is a good-looking guy, a seducer who usually falls in love for women, she is a shy and charming girl. At the beginning she refuses but he doesn't give up and he convinces her to join at night and following an overlong and sympathetic conversation between them, during which he arranges to gain her attention , then emerges a mutual attraction. It concerns about talking among protagonists and precipitating to a surprising ending.

It deals with the superficiality of the human relations and the unexpected results. It takes place in a few locations, at a flat and the Madrid night streets. The two protagonists giving awesome acting, while exchange life experiences, philosophies, stakes and jokes in the typical conversational fashion, but things go wrong in the morning after and results in a disastrous conclusion . The film relies heavily on excessive dialog and sometimes monotonous conversation. It starts as a romantic piece in the firts part , it is a light, simple "Getting to know you" comedy , displaying an ordinary love story. While the second one results to be dramatic and unfolds tragical , precipitable happenings , including a disturbing battle of wits .To be said the most breathtaking issue of the film is the extreme contrast between the two different parts of the flick and how the main roles are really involved into changing situations.

It packs a colorful and adequate cinematography by Alejandro de Pablo, Sorogoyen's regular cameraman. And a sensitive and evocative musical score. The motion picture was well directed by Borja Semper and Rodrigo Sorogoyen. Borja is a good writer, producer, director assistant and filmmaker with a few films. While Rodrigo has directed successful Tv series sich as : La pecera de Eva, Fragiles, Vida loca, Impares and notorious films such as : 8 citas, May God save us 2016 with Antonio de la Torre, Javier Pereira, Roberto Alamo ,and El Reino 2018 with Antonio De la Torre, all of them have won various awards and Goyas. And furthermore, a short , Oscar nominated, titled Mother. Rating 7/10. Better than average. Notable film. Well worth seeing.
