Well-made dialogue-driven piece
At times I felt this film might have been adapted from stage-theatre, so good are the dialogues; scintillating, the right way to speak Spanish if you will excuse the `porteño’ accent so very necessary for the film. The old `maestro’ Federico Luppi is about as good as in any other film I have seen him in, I suppose; Juan Diego de Botto is better than in other films of his that I have seen; but the real standing ovation is for Eusebio Ponce who plays very delicately and intelligently the philosophical homosexual, and Cecilia Roth is outstanding as the film-director’s girl-friend. Though I must say that I am beginning to get accustomed to Cecilia Roth being outstanding in everything she does.The direction is right spot on; tight, befitting the excellent playing out of the dialogues and demanding great skill with the camera and later the person with the scissors. Adolfo Arastarain worked hard for this one: the result is a hugely satisfying piece.
Once again, as erstwhile said elsewhere in IMDb, for those who like real character-driven pieces with intelligent dialogues, this film is highly recommendable. However, for those of you with a fair knowledge of Spanish, if you are not used to the Argentinian (porteño) accent you may well have problems, such that you will need the subtitles. It is worth the effort, I can assure you: just over 8 out of 10, which is pretty high on my scale.
Once in a life time
Once or twice in a lifetime you watch a movie that strikes you exactly in the moment when you need it, and you feel completely identified with it. That happened to me today when I saw Martín (Hache), commenting on movies is a very subjective thing to do, you can like a movie even if it’s a flick just because you needed someone to tell you what the movie is saying in that exact moment. Anyway, that’s what this movie is about; reflection and not only for young people also for adults.This movie has lots of social and political opinions in between lines, it’s a perfect mirror of the society we live in but it doesn’t give a point of view that’s what’s great about it!, it keeps itself objective. Like Dante would say about drugs, they make everything relative the only truth is your truth, Post-modernism!, XX Century!, there aren’t any more rules to obey, society is rotten and it’s a dream to try and change it, so you might as well adapt and enjoy the “good” things about life.
After you see this movie I really hope you question yourself, what is the meaning of “good”. Everything is relative, remember?
