Review of Whisky

Whisky (2004)
8/10
A beautiful movie about uneventful lives
22 January 2006
Yes zeidinho, you're right, it is an extremely slow movie and no, you're wrong, because it is a beauty as well. Every time you expect something to happen (which is not so often) it does not. And when you do not it does, but so casually and so not emphasized that you could very well miss it. In this respect the film is very surprising because, in contrast with its contents, the film itself does not follow the familiar patterns of storytelling. The acting is very small and very effective. The repetitive patterns (does your life change dramatically, every day?) are as painful as they are familiar. The language of images is very smart, no need to explain much. I laughed sometimes, I moaned more often and I liked it very much.
