Lack of good storyline.
Good story, Not enough for a whole film
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Great film. With awesome over the top choices and lighting. Brilliant chemistry and interesting choices. Kitschy and at the same time awesome.
I think the rating of 5+ is too high. The movie is pretentious and totally unconvincing. There is no character study, although the acting is nice. The music is OK. In short: disappointing and for me a waste of time.
This movie has a mediocre rating because it has a female director. Period. It is an excellent film and deserves a 10 out of 10. If you enjoy movies that give you a genuine slice of life from a far away place with well calibrated characters, mood, locations, you are going to love Death in Buenos Aires. The story uses the setting of a murder investigation to explore sexuality, manipulations, torn fragments of unfulfilled desire and trust. There is beautiful music throughout which brings the watcher directly into the middle of the flux of emotion, staring wide eyed at the gorgeous city with yearning. Monica Antonopulos is stunning as a detective who is at the peak of her youth and beauty and wastes no time enjoying it. Chino Darin as the young policeman is disturbingly handsome and slippery, a great screen presence you cannot take your eyes off for a second.
This is a very good film. It has a good storyline, which keeps you wondering if the young policeman is playing games with the main character, his Boss or is he genuinely attracted to him? The acting and direction is great. The story unfolds with a cover up of the murder and the investigation and detection of a suspect. Will the murderer be found and are the Detectives going to accept a cover up? I think the film might have been too short but this could mean that a second film might be planned. The ending is left open to the viewers to concluded if he is dead or will an ambulance be called, will he survive and is there any hope of a relationship between the main characters?
