Bize has a very unique style. Saying that I don't mean his movies are of my liking anyway. Every time I watch his films I end up saying "meh" (e.g.: "La Vida de los Peces"). I'm left with the feeling that his exploration of the characters just shows he can't really tell a story well. The whole purpose of a film is to tell a story that somehow changes the way we see things. Matias' footnotes become just passing comments we don't remember fondly in the end. There are just a few kind of stories that justify keeping two people in a room when they aren't locked up or hiding. This isn't one of them. The abundance of innuendos get in the way of the story, which isn't cohesive.
Making a movie is not an easy task. For the effort alone, he and his crew have my sympathy. But Matias needs to mature and explore new avenues. Some day I might like and even recommend one of his movies.
