What did I see within about 1 hour and 20 minutes? A black-and-white depiction of things what 2 young schoolboys and 1 older schoolgirl do when/if they are left alone... And if a pizza man refuses to leave. Well, mostly trivial things, and non-trivial ones are not inviting, as they are partially over-sophisticated, partially incomplete... True, directing and camera-work are distinct and uncommon, but they are the main values of Temporada de patos to me. Performances are so-so, not memorable, and the logic of events is not always clear or well explained. The ending leaves to be desired as well.
Yeah, it is a film about young teens - but not for teens, especially who live "in the now", who prefer more eventful fun and hanging about. Thus, a film for art's sake - or vice versa, but its means and goals did not get through my head in full.
