Mon meilleur ami

A subtle film which tales a friendship story between 2 teenagers that everything seems to oppose. Lorenzo is benevolent, empathetic and sometimes impetuous. He lives within a strict although serene and convivial environment. In short, a fairly quiet life in Patagonia. In contrast, Caito is calm, shy, not prolific in words and unpredictable. Indeed, he learned to live alone, without being accountable to anyone. A life significantly more difficult within a drug-and-prison environment.

Although they are fundamentally different, they will learn to understand, help and appreciate each other. The beginning of a deep friendship filmed with subtlety.

Even if the movie takes place in Patagonia, it's not a remake of Brokeback Mountain. The landscapes are perhaps similar but, in my humble opinion, the analogy stops right there.

I happened to run across this film on cable and was impressed with its subtle approach to a familiar situation. How many films are shot in the bucolic Argentinian Patagonia? A troubled young man is sent to live with a charming family that includes teenage son Lorenzo. It isn't long before tensions begin to surface. Angelo Mutti Spinatta has the complex role of Lorenzo and his performance is remarkable.

Lovely and gentle little film. It is not the stereotypical gay movie as it is only capturing the first unrequited love most of us have experienced in our early life. The leading boy actor is excellent.

The two young main actors are really fantastic. They have a great chemistry on screen and they say a lot to each other with a look.

It's not very often that I think a movie is too short but this is one. I was hoping the last few minutes would stretch. This is a quiet movie with a lot of heart - a little gem.

If your heart isn't breaking a little while the song "Tal Vez" plays, you *may* be made of stone.

What a great movie about true love No judgment. No hate. No possession Just be Give a chance Being opened It is so nice to see what other countries than USA can do great movie without budget and violence. Congrats to Argentinians
