Elegant strangeness

Rating: 9/10 (20 January 2019)

I love how unusual and strange this film is. And yet, at the same time, it keeps its argument so classical and simple. The ellipses do not let us inside the couple, we keep seeing them both from the outside, with single plans and killer glances that are worth a whole dialogue. But its formal violence it's softened by the music that flows and evolves from the original folk music at the beginning to the yé-yé at the end. It's almost a musical.
Crazy love is always relatable (or should be). It's a film that speaks of a suffering that reminds us of a thousand sufferings, and still manages to make it exist in a political world. It's the Casablanca of our time.
