O Caçador

Marco Berger is an excellent filmmaker, but this one is a miss for me. His better work "The Blonde One" is more of my speed. The kid in this film, his unibrow, as someone said before was way too distracting. Also, the pace was so incredibly slow, it took me out of the story at times. And so it goes. The beat goes on.

...but this is just boring without a reason, without a cause. It's a short film, fed into a movie. A story what can be exciting, but it's just made boring.

No, art is just not this...

Berger usually gets away with hiring so-so actors by engaging with his camera work and its eroticism...which would have been extremely uncomfortable in a movie like this. For that reason, it makes no sense for him to try to tackle this subject with the same resources. Long shots, lifeless actors and open endings do not mix well. He does not get away with artsy shots and beautiful cinematography. Kudos to the editor for managing to tell a story with limited resources.

Unbearably parsimonious, the only thing worth watching is the main characters' great performances, who manage to take the indecisive plot somewhere away from utter uneventfulness. It does depict the ugly reality of teen exploitation, but it fails to deliver relatability.

A subject well managed of something society don't want to see.

The subject make us sick but the movie presents it with all the due respect.

Great photography and environment.
