The Windshield Wiper

Whilst working his way through an entire pack of cigarettes, a man sits at a corner table in a café and ponders "what is love?". What follows is a series of romantic (and not so) scenarios in which people spend time together, search online for their ideal partner, imagine what life might be like were things different - and all augmented by the general chatter and conversation taking place around him. Some of that chatter is quite profound, some of it - well let's just say there's plenty of hot air in there, too - though that's not restricted to the physical venue: there's plenty of vacuous phone chat included too. There's one quite poignant scene featuring a text conversation that sees a semblance of commitment met with dots, then not. More dots then not, then a read receipt - LOL!! Is the grass always greener or might true love actually exist for any of those seeking it? Are they truly seeking it anyway? The animation styles alter a little from time to time and that adds a richness to this quite interesting look at what makes us tick, emotionally and sexually - and it's not always pleasing or enduring what emerges from our dalliances with "love".

Just some moments of love, told through some beautiful animation but makes you feel, why love is important and how complex it is to love aand be loved.

Loved this movie. Creative and unique storytelling that only a brilliant mind like Alberto can translate through film. Highly recommend to anyone who is searching for the next thing in animation.

This is basically just a thought piece. It's like the creators brain tipped into a screen. On top of that it looks amazing. The shots, wow. Some of them are just perfect.

Literally writing this I'm just realising how much I actually loved it. Some of the scenes keep playing in my head, making me think and I think that is what makes a good film.

It makes you think "while" you're watching it but then you don't walk away with anything to discuss afterwards which is the real measure of success for any film. It's visually interesting for a variety of reasons that have to do with the colors, juxtaposition and editing. Love is ill defined and painful and risky . It's not a life affirming film that inspires you to take a chance on love unless you're wearing an Advanced Bomb Suit (ABS) like Jeremy Renner in "The Hurt Locker".
