Plan B

WOW!, like many of the other reviewers I stumbled upon this fine, fine film. I couldn't tell when the film had been made and was pleasantly surprised that it was a fairly a recent work, and what a work of art it is. The confusion is dealt with so painfully and sweetly. If you love good film take your time with this and relish it. It renewed my faith in love. These actors and their director are amazing. This is one honest film. If you have attention deficit disorder then this is not the film for you. I just relished the long long takes and not being able to predict where the film was headed. The scenery is gritty and wonderful.

WOW! I loved this gem of a movie. Two alleged "straight" guys discovering some feeling between them might seem like the plot of a good porno film but this is handled with such realism that the audience can't help but feel drawn in.

At first I wondered why there were lingering shots of the buildings' exteriors, but then I started to like the (what I'm guessing anyway) was the symbolism of imprisonment of feelings,coldness,loneliness, austerity.

I also loved the style of leaving in background noise during great moments. Isn't that the way real life is? I want to see this movie again and the actors were excellent! I especially liked Pablo, who has one scene of internal pain that is not forced in any way and is totally believable.

I'm going to watch it again!

Plan A is 'make a great film that runs under 90 minutes'; PLAN B is 'make a great film'. By all rights Director Marco Berger's tale of an Argentina man's plan to win back his girlfriend by wooing her new love interest should have had me hitting the FF with its long, extended takes and silent montage sequences. But the acting by the two leads and Berger's bravado in not rushing his tale of unlikely romance pays off. It takes the full 100 minutes - so stay with it - but I found this film genuinely compelling - sometimes irritatingly so. I wanted to say 'who cares' and hit the OFF button but the guys are so truthful and down-to-earth that even the implausible premise seems perfectly likely. Mark PLAN B a success.

Just seen this at the London Film Festival and highly recommend it. Was fortunate enough to be able to see the Q&A with the Director and his team afterwards in which they said this has no distribution yet even in it's own country. I hope this situation changes as it is a film I think a lot of people worldwide would enjoy. If it comes to a cinema near you then go see it. I certainly hope to see a more of this director and his cast. Absolutely excellent.

I love cinema but this is the first film that I've ever felt so strongly to post on the internet about in the hope that more people will have the pleasure.

I literally stumbled upon this movie and ,unlike all the movie trash out there this is worth your time. I do not even think it is fair to label this a "gay" film. To me that genre should simply be erased, and changed to a love story like any other- whether it's between two woman, two men, a man and woman. Although I digress... I like how the film dealt with the two characters coming to terms with feelings never confronted before, where the friendship line is crossed. It does not get moody, it portrays very realistically how two people may deal with loving a friend. Although the dialogue is pretty minimal, it is very poignant and direct. The scenery of Argentina is shown throughout, and the little things in this film matter. If given the chance to watch this film...do it! You will not regret it.
