La brume oisive

Film making south of the border in a feat for titans. You make movies for four thousand dollars, that is, 4 minutes of the production of "Jurassic Park". So, what Andres Useche has done is truly remarkable: a great indie, a wonderful short, and no budget. The storytelling is magnificent, the acting is shining, the soundtrack (yes, an original one) is full of creativity and talent.

This is the proof of what can be achieved by a creative mind truly obsessed with the medium

Solid flick, absolutely nothing short of amazing considering the budget.

I first heard of this by following recommendations through IMDb. It took a while and some effort to get a copy of it, and I'm glad I did.

The movie is short, with a run time of half an hour. However it is a nice, gestalten mixture of plot, polish, presentation, as well as great ambiance in presenting the themes of estrangement and emotional petulance. (Which is more than I can say for many big studio projects) Add a VERY professional sounding and appropriately haunting soundtrack, the movie becomes positively astounding given that only $100 was spent in its making.

It is not to say that the movie is flawless, it is fundamentally an amateur, independent movie. Despite more than solid acting overall, moments of awkwardness still surfaces, and the ending was somewhat anticlimactic.

This movie is a must see for anyone interested in film-making; it shows that one's vision can be realized despite perceived conventional hurdles. I excitedly look forward to future works from Useches.

If anything, this movie will have you whistling/humming its tunes... it made me!

This is a great movie. Very cool, with different outcomes. Dreams and nightmares are the subject matter. I liked the character design, the images in general and the music very much. The performances of some of the minor characters could be improved and so could quality of the sound, but that's okay taking into account that is low budget first movie. The webpages suggested in the vana espuma board are impressing, very much worth checking out:

There are two relevant points I would like to write about Vana Espuma. In a country in which movie is not the best artistic expression, so there are not important directors, it is really good finding a very young artist who has developed a specific project. Useche has supported his tale through many scientific facts and carried it out playing such a big number of roles (actor, director, writer,...). In the other hand, we can think this is one of those kinds of films that are only produced by a great imagination, but if you read the Vana Espuma's support as well as its background , you will find a very interesting study about philosophy, physics and even psychology, which allowed Useche to build a complete project and to take his film out of the group of common Colombian films.

A great one, make myself doubt about reality, not only when I first saw it, every time i remember it the world turns kind of fake. The best thing is that the story is told to be as real as possible.
