Mía Maestro and Lee Tempo in a dark mystery

Argentine writer Lucio Castro made a quiet stunning of the first game of 2020 with an extremely evocative queer romance, The end of the century. By trading the beaches and parks of Barcelona for wooden upstate New York in the fall, a filmmaker, provides a self-conscious enigmatic drama that includes a Messianic electro-psycho-psycho rock star that follows, a tumultuous affair, a family tragedy, a near-fatal pedestrian accident and a bridge car, a bridge car, The driver was missing and eventually assumed he was dead. Oh, there is a toxic fanndo that becomes a physical threat.

In spite of everything and his important title, After this death It’s nothing. Or at least nothing that holds attention for a long time. Where The end of the century He felt intimate in person, a new movie is a studied and distanced syllable that feels significantly longer and slower than his 96-minute run time. Hitchcock Scipces Hitchcock-concrete Dizziness and Shadow of doubt – But the result feels more linhi.

If you really want to see Lee pace sucking his toes after admitting his legs smelling, it could be your bag. The actor is 6’4 ”and wears a 12 -size shoe, so it’s probably a lot of toes.

Pace plays Elliotta, who makes vocals – and more hands gestures than Stevie Nicks – in a band that started with his brother Ronnie (Philip Ettinger). Elliott meets a strongly pregnant Argentine actress Isabel (Mía Maestro) when she goes to Maté in a cave on a hiking track and he appears nowhere. He is a gentle strange guy, so he doesn’t feel insecure, and even halfway is fun when she shows her a cave image of a snack holding a pearl button. If that has any relevance for the rest of the movie, it ran away.

When her friend of the musical trip Alice (Gwendoline Christie in Nice) pulls Isabel to the concert, she finds herself in an audience full of magical fans, watching Elliott do her rock rock god – ejecting mystical nonsense of texts for droning synths, with a touch, with a touch of interpretative dance . Isabel, her merit, does not shower him with false praise in Backstage. He explains that Ronnie is the brain behind his clothes: “He’s smart. I’m beautiful.”

That is enough for Isabel to be intrigued. After the demonstration of his oral skills in the parking lot, she tells him that her husband Ted (Rupert friend) is out of town and invites him to come, which is when the gambling of the toes happen. They have an amazing sex, Natch, first in Isabella’s place, and afterwards in Cool Cabin Elliott and Ronnie they rented a year and filled with recording equipment while working on the album. Isabel justifies her unbelief, explaining that Ted is often removed and that she is sure that she is sleeping with many other people.

Elliott admits that Isabel included it that she is pregnant and even makes up the babytape for the baby. It’s weird that nothing about rock star is cracking, but he leaves for reasons that are never clear. And that’s when there is a lot of bad things happening.

Include the cryptic messages of Elliott after disappearing; sad times and then bad times with Ted; And tensing the internet animosity of fans who blame Isabel for the canceled gigs and delays at the end of the eagerly awaited band album. Then when those superfans, who call themselves the TPYS (people you see), start coming for her to have Isabella’s life to spin into chaos.

The actors are solid enough, as well as the craft of the film, with the moody use of Robert Lombard and Yegang Yoo, which ranges from the gloomy tubes to the synthesizer similar to the trance to printing the piano. But things just happen in After this death Without any accumulation of great narrative weight or clarity, despite the occasional trail found in the band songs.

What about the internet rumors circulating that Elliott and Ronnie may not really be brothers and maybe even can be lovers? It’s just another thin idea that is broadcast and immediately forgotten.

There may be significance in Isabella’s long pain from the loss of her mother when she was 17, and the echoes of that sadness in the events shown here. Either way, this seems to be part of a driving force that forces her to get a studio study in the cabin and starts channeling Kate Bush. What I suppose is that Isabel returns his life and moves to the future, which makes more sense than anything else in this elliptical blur.

In the end, the mostintrigated mystery is that this alleged underground band, with their monotonous sound and their pretentious, Ersatz poetic texts, developed enough to have ten albums under his belt? On the Plus side, I will say that a Rupert friend makes a great presentation of Liam Neeson in Takenwho could be the only part of his role that is not quite ungrateful.
