How Often Do People Go Om Sick





History Glue-teen in the middle of nowhere


Last night I saw "History Adolescents in the middle of nowhere" at the BFI 50th LONDON FILM FESTIVAL, and be glad enough to know that there a world, small but magical part of the great machine that is Hollywood. Argentina
This film translated into English as "Glue" tells the story of Luke (15 years) who is trapped in a small town south of Argentina. It is interesting how the film captures the diverse feelings of Lucas from his loneliness in the midst of the Patagonia desert. It is the story of the pain of growing up, the first philosophical questions that we ask the youth, the pursuit of friendship, sexual discovery.
Luke's mother has been betrayed by her husband, and in the midst of family conflict and the people that is flat, Lucas goes to his friend Nacho for sex, drugs and rock'n'roll, joins them is a girl and french kisses, warmth and existential angst.

the end of the film, we have the writer and director Alexis Dos Santos, against all odds is not the ordinary Argentines, is small, uses DC shoes and her hair like Gustavo Cerati in the 80's, somewhat introverted but with enough desire tell your story. He says he only wrote 10 pages and the rest was improvisation of the actors also tells us quite proud that the total expenditure was $ 50 000, which I imagine is what we spend on gasoline every producer.
