10.000 Km

"10.000 Km" is a powerful and deeply affecting romantic drama film that explores the complexities of long-distance relationships in the modern age. Directed by Carlos Marqués-Marcet, the film offers a raw and unflinching portrayal of the challenges and rewards of love in the digital age.

One of the most striking aspects of "10.000 Km" is its realism. The film is shot in a highly naturalistic style, with a handheld camera and minimal editing, which gives it a raw and authentic quality. The characters and their experiences feel grounded in reality, and the film's exploration of modern communication technology and its effects on relationships is both insightful and thought-provoking.

The two lead actors, Natalia Tena and David Verdaguer, deliver powerful and nuanced performances that capture the subtle emotional nuances of their characters' experiences. Their chemistry is palpable, and their interactions feel genuine and heartfelt.

In addition to its strong performances and realistic portrayal of long-distance relationships, "10.000 Km" is also visually stunning. The film's cinematography captures the beauty and vibrancy of both Los Angeles and Barcelona, and the contrast between the two cities serves as a powerful metaphor for the distance and disconnection between the two lead characters.

Overall, "10.000 Km" is a deeply affecting and powerful film that offers a realistic and insightful portrayal of long-distance relationships in the modern age. Its combination of raw emotional honesty, strong performances, and stunning cinematography make it a must-watch for fans of romantic dramas. I would give it an 8 out of 10.

Just a quick review to encourage people to see this lovely, impressive film:

10,000km is a beautiful drama about the difficulties of long-distance relationships. The entire film consists of interactions between a couple (we never see anyone else or leave their flats), mostly through skype or messaging. But believe it or not, it's completely enthralling throughout. The two leads are excellent, bringing both humour and deep emotion to their characters, while the director - in his feature debut - pulls in a variety of tricks to keep things interesting. An honest, quietly powerful film that I hope gets the recognition it deserves. Watch it if you get the chance, and then spread the word.

With pleasant cinematography and superb acting, 10,000km features the complications of a long-distance relationship that may appear as initially close, but which becomes increasingly stagnant and sour over time. Issues of couple's communication bubble up over time, and show how fast couples may deteriorate in their romance due, in part, to distance. The film is a dramatic portrayal of loss and of change, of the difficulties couples face when entering into a long-distance romance.

Just watched this movie in the Bergen International Film Festival. I didn't watch so many movies in this festival. I choose which ones I want to watch very carefully by title, and description of the movies. "10,000 KM" was the first one I chose that I was going to watch and I enjoyed every second of it from the beginning to the end.

I have actually always wanted to write a script or shoot a movie about the internet relationship IF I were a write or a director. It is difficult, and can be challenging. A lot of people have done that, but I haven't seen anyone has done it successfully. However, Carlos Marques-Marcet nailed it, just the way as I wanted it to be, or even better. I don't know how it feels for elder people who don't use internet or even anyone who doesn't have such experience before. But to me, it totally worked. The cast is simple, the conversation is raw but real, the cinematography is beautiful, while the theme of the movie is complex and deep.

There were actually only two characters, the leading actor and actress in this movie. The performance is outstanding, both of them. It couldn't support such a movie without excellent performances. In a good movie, the viewer usually could fit himself in one of the roles and feel for it. While in "10,000 KM", I could fit myself in both of them, more for Sergi(played by David Verdaguer) probably. I have gone through exactly the same thing as the couple did in the movie. Every act, every word, and every thought was so real. When they were questioning each other, they were also questioning themselves. Sometimes, you already knew it from your first thought, but then you try to find different ways to prove it wrong, but failed. What I like about this movie is that it didn't give the audience any suggestions, or any conclusion. You knew it from the first second of the scene, and just wanted to prove it throughout the whole movie. The director has done an excellent job by proving it to you.

As for me, I came thousands miles from China to Norway because of a long distance relationship. Now I'm ending up living here for almost ten years, alone. I gave the movie 10 out of 10, one point was from my own similar experience.

... as far as movies dealing with long distance relationships go 10k KM should be considered as one of the better ones... out-of-sight out-of-mind is much to contend with... being unfaithful to one's partner made easier when you can drift apart, not having to go back and see the other person regularly... can you fall out of love with someone.. sure... can you fall back-in-love again, sure

... he tells her to go out and experience the city, make new friends, have shared experiences... actually he's really saying she must let go of him, so what could he expect, he's not going to live there, she's not returning back, at least for now or soon

... it's not that they no longer have anything in common, just that they no longer have the intimate bond of physical-intimacy helping-keeping them together... that hands-on-contact we all crave-need-regularly.
