Beautiful Short Documentary
"Los Días Cortos de los Años Largos" is a Short Documentary produced, directed, photographed mostly by Monterrey film-maker Luis Garza and edited by his fianceé Claudia Valenzuela.
There are films that you can tell that were made with a lot of heart just by looking seconds of it and this is one example of that. It is clear that this film was made with a lot of work, a very short amount of money and a clear intention of the author of telling something that was very important to him.
This film subject is, like the title poetically says, a portrait of our old people last days in life locked inside a retirement home. We hear their stories and we watch very beautifully filmed images in the odd, but perfectly suitable choice of super 8 mm.
The combination gives an aesthetic and sentimental experience to the spectator that is really worth feeling. The film's structure is not a classical one, but it is perfectly suitable for a good short film.
This is a very good movie with an interesting aesthetic, and even a bit of indie experimentation. The couple made a very beautiful shortie doc flick.
