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.

This a very understated movie. Because Spanish is not my first language, it is sometimes difficult to get the full meaning of a movie. Subtitles are not always translated with the real meaning of the dialogue. Because of the method of telling this story, and the superb acting the language didn't really matter. So much of the story is in the facial expressions, attitude, and eyes of the main characters. It takes time to get into the story, but the story is well worth the wait. You need to pay attention, put details together...but you should love this movie! I was pleasantly surprised at how much I got into enjoyed this movie and the way it was told. I watched it twice!

maybe it's because it reminds me the hard time I've had in my twenties to figure out how I could tell a guy I loved him but I love this movie which is quite simple in terms of plot and acting. It's merely due to the two actors of course that let us think they discover the feelings for each others as well as their potential acting on the screen. Both of them don't seem to be famous in Argentina but they would deserve to go further in their acting career.

Great movie, photo is undoubtedly gorgeous (I loved the colors of the buildings - quite impressionist view of the city) and I definitely recommend it to people for its delicate and simple way to show the carefulness we may use sometimes before going further into a relationship and also the ambiguity straight men relationship may have regarding the way they express their feelings to each other.

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.
