enREDados

Enredados

Enredados is a short film about a video game geek who sets up his place for a date with a girl he met online. His quiet introverted self is only magnified by his guest, a vocal young lady with a curious past and an even curiouser forwardness. What was dreamed as a pleasurable evening does not exactly come to terms, and where the two of them may end up in is anyone’s guess.

This is a silly film. It shows the pitfalls and potentials dangers of online dating. It also makes you wary about bringing that new girl (who may or may not be into BDSM) into your apartment for the first time. Proceed with caution, kids.

(Besides English subtitles, this one has Spanish subtitles available also in closed captions. By the way, maybe you’ll also enjoy this short film of a lady having dinner at home with her ideal man. Or how about this film about a couple in an awkward one night stand?) Continue Reading

El Marqués

El Marqués

El Marqués is a short film about a backpacker on the way to Mexico City. In his travels, he passes through El Marqués, a town in Quéretaro, Mexico. For some reason, he takes up the interest of a random stranger, and is taken places he did not initially expect to find himself in.

This short film is foreboding, right from the very start. (“Reports of murder and kidnapping on the outskirts… have been steadily increasing…”) It also features some kind of criminal activity, and we helplessly look at things unfold in the eyes of a (seemingly) innocent man. Simple story-telling, yet great impact.

(English subtitles are available as closed captions here. Curious about another film featuring a man with a shady lifestyle? Or how about this film involving a weird kind of murder?) Continue Reading

Me Siento Culpable (I Feel Guilty)

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
