Rezeta (2012)
A Beautiful Film About an Unlikely Connection
This film is about an Albanian model who is beginning her career abroad, set against the backdrop of the city landscape in Mexico. Her free spirited life style shown at the beginning of the film seems to encompass all areas of her life, including her romantic relations. However, her blossoming friendship with a punk-rocker musician change her in ways that even she could not have seen.
The setting of Mexico city beautifully complements the rugged time sequences of the main character's journey and the relationship between Rezeta and her live-in boyfriend. Although it can sometimes be a bit confusing to know how much time has passed, Rezeta's increasing fluency in Spanish and her boyfriend's changing appearance is always a good clue.
Some may argue that the film is too choppy to really understand the full depth of the characters let alone their romance. But I don't really think the film is about that. Sometimes time and perspective can get away from you when you plunge into an all consuming relationship, and the bitterness of the demise is all you can remember.
