Title: Ana y los otros (Ana and the Others)
Released: 2003
The short review: unless you like boring movies, this movie is not for you. Ana y los otros is the story about 20-something Ana taking a trip to Parana, the city where she grew up, to see old friends and to find an old flame. I am a sucker for Argentine movies, but was seriously disappointed with this one. The whole time I kept thinking "what is this movie even about?" It was a series of inconsequential scenes of Ana sitting at a park bench, Ana going to the beach, Ana having a bo-oring conversation with a girl at the beach, and so on. When I read the back of the movie case and found:
"An extraordinary film whose characters treat the biggest and most dramatic crisis lived by the Argentinean people in a whole new light. Regardless of stereotypical political speeches and blames, the film underlines in a unique manner the importance of hope and the real value of life."
I wondered if I had perhaps watched the deleted scenes instead of the "extraordinary" film promised above.
