Could it be a covid? Santiago is a crime reporter, a stringer photographer. Thanks to police connections, he is the first to arrive at crime scenes to take close-ups of corpses and sell them to tabloid newspapers. But one day he has to pay for it...
'The spell. The sixth sense' (the distributors finally lost their five senses and now sculpt to localize at random two of any promoted brand) in the original is called much more interesting: ' Completely disappeared' This is a very straightforward story with a moral in the spirit of Stephen King’s stories, for example, similar to '. Hero ' Weight loss' Weight loss to zero. Santiago, too, is undergoing a transformation: it ceases to smell, then taste, and then the rest of the senses. And although he has a nurse wife - no one shouts 'kovid' I still can't taste instant coffee! But if not a covid, then surely a curse!
I’m interested in films about photographers – it’s interesting to follow their work, how they hold the camera, how they show pictures. Santiago, for example, prefers the Canon brand. The first half of the film is held just on the everyday life of the hero, where the line of professionalism from immorality is very thin. On the one hand, he didn't kill anyone himself? And on the other hand, it is unlikely that the relatives of the victims will like his pictures on the front pages (especially since the hero does not disdain a little & #39; correct & #39; poses of the victims for drama). But is it enough for the punishment that comes? I didn't get a clear answer to that.
In the second half, the film begins to stall - the story is straightforward, without frills, for a short film, but the hero thinks for a long time, suffers, goes to the doctors. Another problem is that it is difficult to empathize with the hero, because for the whole film he does not commit a single good deed (even he raised his hand on a dog - we will not forgive!).
An interesting solution is the distortion of sound and image when the hero loses hearing and vision. But this reception in the format of a full meter begins to tire.
As a result, the whole film is based on one actor Arold Torres (we recently saw him as the leader of the mafia in the thriller John Wu & #39; Silent Fury'). Funny - the story about the loss of voice and other feelings could be called the same!
The ending of the story should, logically, shock the viewer, but he left me with disappointment - and that's it? In general, what I learned from this film is that when you talk to mediums, you have to demand a guarantee. And that's not a big deal: '- Will you spare me the curse? - A hundred thousand million! - But it didn't help me! - Well, sometimes it didn't work. . . '
