This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Great Film overall
Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
As with 2012's "The Artist" and 2012's Spanish film "Blancanieves", I am enjoying watching silent films. This black and white, silent film from Argentina is a gem. It has the 1930's German filmmaking down to a dot. It's nice to watch a film with no dialog and let the film itself carry the story. I never cared for the 1920's silent because I didn't feel that the story was fully recognized. But, with these newer films, the story is recognized much better than before. If you want something different and surreal, try this.
La Antena is a beautifully crafted fairy tale that plays with the technical limitations of yesteryear's movies and uses this idea for telling the story of oppressed people, who are robbed of their speech. The strong symbolism, the rich scenes and the believable characters make a lasting impression on the viewer and make for memorable scenes, even though the plot isn't the strongest aspect of the movie.Overall 7/10 Full review on movie-discourse.blogspot.de
This movie is great. I had a chance to see it at the Chicago Film Festival - by accident really. I was going to see an Austrailian film, but the file was pulled from the festival moments before I got to the box office. The ticket person suggested this movie stating that it was selling a lot of tickets.Does anyone know if and when this will be released on DVD in the States? I have found it on Amazon Germany - but I do not have a way to play the region 2 DVD. I have also emailed the distributor several times. Any suggestions you can provide will be helpful.
The summary line is some men's wet dream for the ideal woman ... ;o) Seriously though, back to the movie, which has classic cinema written all over it (pun intended and quite literally shown in the picture, too as you'll see)! How could someone make a silent movie in this year and age? It's not completely silent for once (take the music for instance). With great cinematography is the answer. And it's no wonder that it did win prizes (as another user stated) in this area! But it's also sometimes it's downfall. Although the pictures are great, it sometimes delves too much in them instead of moving forward (plot and time wise). If you can cope with that, than you'll enjoy it even more than me. I haven't told you anything about the story, but I'll never do that, because I don't want to spoiler anything for you ...
