I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
This film tells the story of a man meeting another man in the gym, and they befriend each other. It actually is not a chance meeting, but a carefully planned meeting in order to break up the new relationship of his ex-girlfriend.I have to say that the subplot of trying to destroy the ex-girlfriend's relationship is not very obvious to me. All I see is a gay man who seduces a straight man, and to various degrees of success at different time points. The pace is slow and there are many stationary shots which prolongs the film unnecessarily. I can't say I liked the film too much, but I did find it cute that the gay guy has to test the water and come up with different excuses to make a move on the straight guy.
This film is definitely not for everyone - certainly not most Americans who are so provincial in their tastes. Plan B is about as European as any film can be although technically it is Argentine from Argentina's foremost director, Marco Berger, who, apparently, must have fallen in love with 2001 because Plan B is an absolute steel in the way it is filmed exactly as 2001 was done and even with the same sound effects! Yikes! What goes on here? What is Berger trying to tell us? How are 2001 and Plan B connected? What mysterious conundrum is Berger attempting to convey to us? I'm at a loss to understand it and if I had Berger's home phone I would call him immediately to ask him what in heaven's name he is trying to say to us in the unique way he has structured Plan B. But alas, I am not privy to his private life and therefore I must remain in the dark, another confused soul wandering in the labyrinth of life.
The story is implausible but done so well you can't help but like it. It is too much like a gay fantasy not impossible but very unlikely.There is a lot of good acting. I have to say though I much preferred the actor doing Pablo. The one doing Bruno looked too much like a Smart Alec-- I kept thinking this is a straight guy who just can't get into the role. This movie couldn't have cost much to make but it is very entertaining.If you speak Spanish the Buenos Aires porteño accent is a little hard to follow fortunately there are subtitles.Uplifting movie over all especially for gays.
Thats correct .This is one LONG boring bore.The 2 male leads may be good actors, but they sure do not come over as possible gay lovers.What we have is a 2 maybe 3 reel film DRAGGED out to 103 minutes.The short scenes with actresses are not that good either.How any one could possibly like this is beyond me.The 2 star rating is for a few nice shots of scenery. The film is from Argentina.Films from here are usually much better. I cannot even recommend this as a gay themed movie.
