In Bocca Al Lupo is very curious. It starts off with a girl talking to a mirror. It then moves on to show the same girl lying bloody on the floor, with a man looming over her. There is an interplay of dialogue, and it is only after a few frames that we may realize what’s actually going on. Continue Reading
This short film is about a girl who is readying herself for a driver’s exam, while enjoying some intimate time with her man between preparation sessions. It also involves plenty of canned (or bottled) beverages… And to what purpose it is used is something the Internet apparently knows much about.
Fun, silly short film overall. I quite appreciated its grittiness and realistic simplicity. Oh, and ladies: please don’t try this at home. (By the way, Burbuja is definitely NSFW, thanks to the sexual content.)
(For your viewing pleasure, this one has English subtitles. Interested in more sexy films? Or maybe you’d just want to see old people talk about “new positions”?) Continue Reading

(This one’s available with English subtitles. By the way, here is a film by the same director, and it’s one that also features an HR-related role, though more on the termination process. Here’s another film with another interviewee, too.) Continue Reading
