Pont de Varsòvia (1990)
Not necessarily enjoyable.
There are some very nice things about this film. There are moments where images and sound complement one another; the images are soft, evocative and pleasant.
Then, there's the rest of the film. I personally find it considerably disconcerting when image and audio are not synced, like a dodgy download from the Internet. The dialogue is pretentious and unimaginative, the acting a little better.
To mention Barcelona as a location for this film, to evoke its atmosphere and vibe as testament to the character of this film is misleading. Except for the excruciating opening sequence involving an orchestra playing from balconies there are a few scarce shots of a recognizable Barcelona.
Verdict: Like a 15-year-old who has just discovered the thesaurus function in word, this film tries too hard to be something clever, and it just isn't.
