Lodo (2009)
Unusual narrative, unique surreal approach
I was very glad to have the opportunity to watch this movie. Nowadays nonlinear narrative is often used just to puzzle and surprise the viewer. But "Lodo" (Mud) uses a particular, unique narrative to explore the functioning of human mind, and to describe the feelings and emotions within a human soul.
In addition, this film is far from being intellectual, which is quite common in unconventional films. The fresh, direct film structure goes right to your heart if you open your eyes and let the film go into your senses.
The way the film deals with the memories from childhood and teenage is also quite appealing and inspiring. In particular, when the teen girls meet in the beach, or when the brunette girl goes into the forest, are outstanding moments of the film.
The work of the lead actress is noteworthy, and contributes very much to the overall strength of the film.
I would suggest to film lovers to have an eye on this original film.
FBI: Frikis buscan incordiar (2004)
This is not a film
I cannot understand why this "thing" could be premiered in Spanish theaters, but on the other hand there are plenty of good or at least interesting independent films that are never screened in Spain. This is yet another consequence of the film seen as a "market", more than an art form or a production of an artist or a human particular viewpoint.
This is not really a movie. It's just a TV product for a late show (now extinct) which was sadly famous for making laugh of retarded and mentally disabled people. Incredibly enough, those things happen in Spain now, and there is no legal problem for doing it during more than 5 years every night, as this is the case.
