Genuine and intense portrait of living Mexico

Reviewed by avalonrock 8 / 10

Characters in Movie Like a Vermeer Painting

Very fascinating movie where the story of 3 young people is shown without dialog. The story, instead, develops by using facial expressions, body movements (including dance) with background of music. Thus, this movie is unusual plus low-keyed in contrast to the frenetic pace of modern life. The close-up portrayals of the actors when they are supposedly alone and introspective is similar to the famous oil paintings by Vermeer in the 17th century. Feelings expressed are thus subtle without blatant emotions of most movies. A relaxing and absorbing movie --- as a psychiatrist, I give it praise since the 3 young people show emotions but do so delicately. In its way, it's similar to the movie "Girl With A Pearl Earring", a story about Vermeer starring Scarlett Johansson.
