Un rubio

... but still a little masterpiece on the subject of frustrating and even emotionally abusive relationships. I m only giving it 8 stars because of a few unnecessarily long scenes and a pace which is a bit slow for my taste. The performances are superb, though, and the cinematography, consisting of continuous close ups capturing every kind of emotion in all its details, is particularly inspired and effective. The ending is out of this world, literally! It offers an unexpected climax that only adds to the frustration and secures the viewers' empathy. This whole film is romantic drama at its best!

After watching Hawaii and then Plan B, Manuel Vignau's screen characters were just amazing! I don't know what Berger does or says to make these actors really get into their roles!! With The Blond One, again, a very Berger style of acting :) I was really touched by this movie, it's speaks about of lot of emotions that we all deal with everyday! As another reviewer commented, it is a film to be watched when I'm the right mood. Enjoy!! I look forward to reading more reviews soon... Is Marco working on anything new at the minute? I sure hope so!

The quiet scenes could capture all the emotions, sensuality, desire, tension, passion, nervousness and love in the air. Bravo! Both actors are super talented, especially "the blond one". I just enjoyed the whole time watching it, to me it told a love story between two flatmates, the outcome of this story is not as important and amusing as how every details of it happened.

I could relate to this story and I think it happens a lot. Two men in love with each other, but at different stages of dealing with their own. I thought the acting was first rate. And the ending, if not happy, at least felt satisfying.

It was slow and repetitive at times, with little dialog, but this helped draw out the story somehow. And then you had bursts of dialog here and there, shedding light into the characters. The end came kind of suddenly, at first disappointing, but then surprisingly heart-warming, despite the previous sad development. Overall a quiet, sweet film.
