Amor Crudo (English: Raw Love) is about two guys who are the best of friends. They play soccer with their buddies regularly, they joke about girls, they have regular sleepovers, and they do almost everything together. Their relationship is placed in focus, especially since it’s only a few weeks until the school year ends. What will happen between the two of them? Will they still have the same relationship afterwards? Continue Reading
Mi Amigo Invisible (English: My Invisible Friend) is about Tomas, a very shy guy. He spends a lot of time not speaking to anyone in general, and living his routine life. One day, while his parents are away, he suddenly encounters Andy, his so-called “invisible friend”. This “friend” proves to be a reliable one that never quite leaves his side. How will Tomas deal with it? Continue Reading
Un Chien Andalou (An Andalusian Dog, in English) is a curious short film. It has no coherent plot, even though it mentions scenes that happened at around “three in the morning” or “sixteen years ago”. It features surrealist elements, and has plenty of conversation-starting situations: a hand with ants crawling out of it, a moth with the symbol of a dead head, and, of course, a razor slitting a live woman’s eyeball.

Me Siento Culpable is a short film with many titles. It is also known as Errudun Sentitzen Naiz, Ich Fühle Mich Schuldig, and, in English, I Feel Guilty. While its dialogue is mostly in Spanish, this short film also features some talk in Basque and German, too. I guess no matter how many languages you use, there is only one feeling you can really have over private relations with someone you shouldn’t have relations with: guilt.
The story here is told in a nonlinear fashion, so don’t be surprised if the scenes tend to jump a bit. There is also some sexual content here, so please be advised that this is quite NSFW. Still, what a drama-filled ending.
(Although many languages are present here, there are still English subtitles available for this. Fancy another film with different languages, this time Latin? Or how about another movie featuring guilt?) 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
