(aka 'The Bottom of the Sea')
directed by
Damián Szifron
Argentina 2003
A comedy-cum-unexpected peculiar thriller. Discovering that his girlfriend Ana
is cheating on him, Toledo decides to find out with whom and why, setting off on
the heels of her lover. An absurd persecution in which those involved are too
close to see one another. And the bottom of the sea? The bottom of the sea is
the only refuge left for Toledo on realizing that life will never be the same
again for him.
Unassuming but very likeable little comedy with dramatic touches - loses way
with ill-advised pretentious coda. Up to this point a fine, unpretentious
chronicle of infidelity-paranoia. Boyfriend (bemused, scruffy, engaging Daniel
Hendler) tails his girlfriend’s obnoxious, penny-pinching, sleazy ‘lover’
(Gustavo Garzon, excellent in the showcase role). Inevitably, all isn’t my any
means as it seems – but writer-director makes a very old set-up seem fresh,
funny and surprising. Quirky background details – suspicious lover is an
architect designing underwater hotel for divers, and he’s a diver himself as
well. Builds to very satisfying finale, then (unwisely) keeps going: quirky
background stuff emerges into foreground in bizarre, uneventful last five
minutes. Insecurity of first-time director? He shouldn’t worry: control of tone
sufficiently expert in first hour to bode well for future career. Like Toledo,
Szifron just gets a little out of his depth.

Good transfer by
Home Vision - progressive, anamorphic, relative sharpness with some
grain, 5.1 original Spanish (well 'Argentinean' as by Barcelona friend
might say) audio - all good. Weak digital extras but suffice to say -
relative to the climate of the film. I always enjoy the liner notes from
HVE. Tack on to this that the film is kind of cute as well - very unique
with unexpected twists - quite human. Certainly worthy of a purchase and
a spin or two. I'm sure you will enjoy.
