It was only because it was a rare local film made in Buenos Aires that I turned it out to watch it, and it had too much emotion for the city. The Santa Fe Street where the hero and heroine live is really hard to go back to the past. This is the street that all BA people know from 0 to 5000. There are countless coffee shops, designer shops, and leather bag shops. , restaurants, apartments, and all kinds of windows that make people linger.... Anyone who has lived here knows: BA, like most Latin American countries, was once brilliant in the early 20th century. With a 12-lane boulevard, this "Paris of South America" is now as dilapidated as the pictures in the film, with countless wires, shoebox-like apartments, dilapidated facades, and some obvious architectural imprints of its original glory. ....; BA, unlike other South American cities, she is the only metropolis in the country. Most young people who are willing to pursue their dreams are not afraid to come here alone, just like the hero and heroine in the film. The city even has Palermo, a designer neighborhood similar to SOHO in New York, where the planetarium in the film is located, and the restaurant where the protagonist smokes with the multilingual blonde is also nearby.... the city's The temperament is also determined. There are such male protagonists: dedicated, loving, literary, but sensitive; there are also such female protagonists: melancholy, persistent (that is, not going to the top floor for dinner), who would rather be lonely than express their hearts at will... .Their encounter is probably inevitable, even if it is countless misses, even if the male protagonist did not act like that in the end (not much spoilers)....
Except for the memories of BA, presumably the supporting actors and actresses in the film And scenes, even monologues, the sensitive and paranoid men and women in the city have more or less resonance, which is one of the reasons why I continue to watch after the short and lengthy one-man show.
PS, I haven’t written a film review for hundreds of years. In recent years, Argentina has rarely except a few good films, which are worth watching.
