Corpo Elétrico

la bonne version de Mektoub my love

Typical self-important, identitarian and dramatically empty slice of life tale about contemporary youth in Brazil. A few images manage to accomplish something close to a proletarian experience in a country that is constantly defying our sanity, but this mostly prefers to go around fabricating images with a cold, observational, sub-Mascaro look than actually depicting characters actually doing something -- they have sex, hate jobs, drink cheap beer and so.

I suppose you can see the whole thing doing an effort, not little by the way, but I found it particularly boring. Besides that, I left at when they are taking the beers, and this is 40 minutes of nothing. If after that the movie gets better, I am not interested, and I like social dramas, but I did not find it as such. In my opinion is like "Monsters" (2010) where the Sci-Fi is just the context for talking about other subjects.
