Review of Picado fino

Picado fino (1996)
8/10
Quite a movie, eh
12 February 2007
I've seen this movie and found it quite odd: first of all, it's black and white; secondly, dialogs are replaced by acting, gestures, letters and repeated sequences; and, finally, the script deals with many controversial topics that are depicted simply but firmly, don't need words to show how ignorant, poor and short-minded you can become when you choose drugs, delinquency, marginal life ware as your lifestyle. In my opinion, the director's point of view is clearly reflected in the movie. You can also keep several images in your mind to discuss them later, you can perceive the main aspect of the real problems in a direct and pure way rather than following dull "moral" leading-to-nowhere conversations. However, the movie -the filming layout- is not linear. Despite I MUST watch it again, I strongly recommend you spend 2 hours paying attention to "Picado Fino".
