Diary of a dairy

A pretty surreal Chilean movie.Not much of a narrative story, more a slice of life with frequent use of symbolism to convey an ecological thematic concept and a statement about the abuse of animals for food production.Despite the occasional, dreamlike songs from the herd of cows, I fear it's not quite the moo-sical it could've been. Sorry, couldn't resist.This is the kind of cinematic experience that will split audiences and whilst the main message is readily understandable, it will take quite some time to understand the symbolism or reasons why the film makers chose to use them. Right now, an hour after watching it, I think I may struggle to unpack the imagery fully.

True potential unrealised

A technically affluent and thematically enriched feature that tries to initiate a handful of pertinent discussions on a variety of issues.From deep-seated depressions that wear us down to inquiring into sexual orientations that can prove to be a critical juncture for a worried teenager living his/her/their lives in a confused state of adolescence.While I wholeheartedly admire their heartiest intents, the messages they wanted to convey came to be too inexact and incomplete in a sense. Now, I advocate for subtlety, given it doesn't reflect badly in the final yield.Nuance is pleasing, but only if you can express what you want to express with the required precision and coherence; otherwise, this same nuance could quickly become a nuisance!
