Jamie passion and passionfruit!

Argentine film by Ana Katz director of the embarrassingly humourous El juego de la silla.  Ana also plays Ines the main carácter who is in the middle of a break up with her boyfriend. To say she is unbearable is an understatement – a control freak, a pain in the neck , it is no wonder her man stays on the bus and lets her get off at the coastal resort where they were to have their anniversary weekend.  And this is the problem with the film.  Why should we care about a woman who is basically selfish and unlikeable and who doesn’t seem to learn anything during the film.  She gets the hots for a hotel porter who isn’t interested.  The only person who really is interested in her, Germán (nicely portrayed by Carlos Portaluppi) gets the brush off.  There is no doubt that Katz gives us authentic scenes that can occur with many people but watching such an immature selfish girl is not so attractive.  There are some well constructed scenes but a lot of boring stuff too.  More hype than really important cinema.
