Geminis

Happened to watch this movie late night when it was aired on World movies channel. At the outset the director needs to acknowledged for holding the reigns quite well and literally does a tight-rope walking to ensure that the movie doesn't classified as a Tinto Brass or worse a soft-porn.

The complexities of a modern family is portrayed effectively. The relationship between the members of the family is fleshed out effectively yet managing to touch-base on the taboo. The wedding forms the baseline of the story and the events built around it come about naturally (family dinner, shopping, wedding dress, night-out etc). And its precisely these factors which give aesthetic feel to it. On technical front the movie is rich in the camera-work and lighting. The usage of mirrors, shadows and following the character would seem Kubrick inspired.

The director chose his way of ending the story which is purely is his prerogative which perhaps for a few it might seem Over-the-top.

PS:: And an apt title indeed.

This was the most disturbing movie I've seen in a long time. I started watching it just before going to bed, with no intention to actually stay up and finish it, but once it started, I simply couldn't stop watching. It completely captured my attention, which happens very very rarely as of late, so all my compliments to the director.

This is one of those movies that most people will not appreciate because of it's subject, which is a social taboo. And it's understandable. However, if you are able to appreciate a good story with an upsetting content that is not meant to entertain you, and will probably shake you up, you should give it a chance.

Yes, some will say this movie is disturbing. That's not always a bad thing in a film. Although I did find it somewhat disturbing myself, I also found it very intriguing and enjoyable, party because it WAS disturbing.

The acting is great and the story is like nothing I've ever seen before. The camerawork is wonderful as well. There are some great shots in here. Lately I've been enjoying a lot of Argentinian films I have noticed. I didn't consciously seek them out, but I find myself stumbling upon one gem after another. This is one of them. They make some great movies. Recommend.

The description synopsis is quite exactly how the film is. There isn't exactly any twists or turns. Everything which occurs is quite predictable and obvious.

The acting is solid yet at times the actors seemed bored. Nothing much happens besides several explicit scenes followed by a lot of talk and dialogue.

Although the central description is regarding the taboo siblings and them keeping things a secret. The film is also about the oldest brother getting married as we see the planning and everything involved with the wedding.

Once the major reveal in the end occurs, the film stalls and ends quite abruptly and sort of open ended. It's a decent simple film to pass the time.

Oddly enough, I kind of enjoyed the movie. It was pretty delightful and beautiful I love to see it.
