Interesting

I had a time already wanting to watch this movie, mainly because its poster made it look interesting and because I like the music - by french indie musician Sebastien Schuller-. Plus, it's part of the new Mexican cinema. I thought, like most people, that this movie is really, really slow and it's not for everyone. I would say curiosity is an important factor; curiosity to see what happens next with this 'never-fails-to-exist' character is what keeps you watching. If you work at an office, at times you'll feel identified with Víctor. Actually, whoever who has a life that is more "existed" than LIVED will identify with the main characters. Something I found interesting about this film was the symbolism present throughout the whole film in the form of a cardinal. I think it's worth the watch.
