MCT:April 22, 2008To say cute would be underrated. But it counts and carries a impressive massage about the break down of the eastern block with the minimal use of dialogue.

It took a little bit for me to get into the rhythm of this one, but once I figured out what was going on, I really enjoyed it. It's along the lines of surreal fairytales like "Delicatessen" and "The City of Lost Children", full of bizarre characters and eye-catching production design. What I really found interesting about this one is that for all intents and purposes, this could really be a silent film. There is no need for subtitles because the dialogue is minimal and you don't really need it to follow the action. You definitely get a strong Buster Keaton vibe while watching this and the final couple shots could really be out of a Keaton film. A great movie for fans of the out-there. Was recommended to me by a coworker and I'll be thanking her for the recommendation.

Anton (el francés Denis Lavan, muy cómico sin mucho esfuerzo) es un hombrecillo (cual grumete de un barco), dedicado afanosamente a mantener limpio el negocio familiar: una alberca pública. Su único objetivo es lograr que no se venga abajo y, además, que su padre, anciano invidente, se convenza de que la alberca está llena de gente, chapoteando, divirtiéndose ruidosamente. El padre de Anton funge un imaginario papel de salvavidas, en su silla favorita a la orilla de la alberca, para que así pueda escuchar el ruido de la gente, que no es más que una grabación desgastada, que sirve para montar una de las farsas más tiernas que un hijo haya fabricado para el beneplácito de su padre.
Estos y otros delirios conforman Tuvalu (Idem, Alemania, 1999), del director alemán Veit Helmer (quien coescribió el guión junto a Michaela Beck y Lyudmila Merdzhanska), una película conmovedoramente extraña, y también un interesante ejercicio fotográfico conformado por una serie de imágenes delirantes, ubicadas en un lugar atemporal e inespecífico.
La película de Helmer, cargada de imágenes sublimes (hermosa secuencia en la que Eva ejecuta una danza acuática con un pez dorado), de la mano de un surrealismo inocente, humorístico (la máquina surtidora en la taquilla), homenajea el slapstick de Chaplin y Buster Keaton, a través de unos personajes tiernos y conmovedores, que consiguen levantar un verdadero teatro del absurdo.

MCT:September 10, 2007Beautiful, hypnotic, and mesmerizing imagery makes the film a truly unique visceral experience. However, the story is nearly non-existent which makes it difficult for the viewer to become truly involved with the film and embrace it... but still, the film is beautiful to behold which makes it difficult to look away. A cult classic that will surely divide audiences alike.

MCT:May 9, 2007Finally an universal movie which recaptures the magic from the classic movies, with an awesome management of the colors and the silence on a beautiful story for kids and adults from all the countries and cultures.
Definitively this film is one of kind among the movies made in the 21st century. -

The bathouse is worth the film. And the film is worth watching without the bathouse. I loved this film.
