Really Surprised!

One of my all time favorites.

An absolute waste of money

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

I recently saw this film thru a DVD a friend handed me, I was surprised to see such a advanced time-line in the construction of this story, one where a good part of the Venezuelan history is compressed and works as the motivation of the protagonist. As was published on a release of the National Cinemateca: "A political tension achieved despite some composition incoherence, one or other formal mistake, that involves us in the feelings of a Venezuelan that knows and will always know, to fight and give his life for a country that asks over and over again, to be rescued from servitude of any kind but will always be the same country, a portable country inherited with recent wounds, as heads of a new Hidra, before every generation, who is going to accept all over again a new destiny and sacrifice."
