Oranges sanguines

This is a dark comedy. When it is comedy, it's funny, even hilarious in some moments. When it's "dark", it's really dark, it doesn't hold back. Second half is unexpectedly dark but if you pay attention, you realise that there is a smooth transition, i mean, the director here knows exactly what he is doing.

There are some messages here and i fully agree with their sociopolitical content. Furthermore, it's an interesting movie, no boring moments.

However, i can't rate it higher because i didn't enjoy very much the movie in the second half. It was too weird/bizarre, i can't explain it well but i believe that it should have been even darker or maybe funnier and less dark. I can't tell which direction. There is some catharsis here but i didn't enjoy it as much as i would like to. A seemingly satisfying ending which leaves you surprisingly with a -somewhat- bad taste in your mouth. I love weird movies but something felt off. It was simultaneously too realistic and not realistic at all. Maybe this is what the director wanted: A confusing experience for the viewer. If so, i respect such daring choices. Still, i enjoyed this movie less than i wanted.

In conclusion, i applaud such weird and provocative movies. Some times, it works really well ( "Relatos salvajes", 2014, that's a movie that came into my mind as i was watching this).

And some other times, it works just good.
