i be gon na tell the story without exaggerate anything . this movie be release and it take me a couple of week to go see it cause i want to see other thing instead . critic be not too kind but not too mean with this one and and be a fito paez film ( who despites be a very pretentious musician could have a chance of be a good filmmaker ) and star the always terrific cecilia roth and the hot actor around and gael garcía bernal and i give it a shot . i go to see it with a couple of friend . the theatre be with most of the seat empty but the audience that be there seem to be movie people . guy who be connect to the business in some way or the kind of person you run into on the film festival of the summer . so and this people go to see the movie with the best intention . my cell phone ring and and a friend ask me where i be . i say in the movie and about to see vidas privadas . she inmediately tell me represent get out and that movie suck . i have see it . it suck and believe me . i trust on this woman but it seem like be too much hate for a movie . and she go on represent the movie be so bad youre gon na laugh and trust me . everyone be go to laugh . so . i laugh . this movie try and very unssucesfully and to be tragic . it the story of an argentinian woman who live the torture of the dictatorship and she have spend the last year in spain but return to her country to see her dad and who be about to die . the trauma of the torture have leave her unable to mantain sexual contact with anyone and and she satisfy her need by watch others have sex or and a in the movie and hire a young model to read her dirty novel while she masturbate . all this and believe me and it ok. the story be not that bad until it transform into a semi tragedy of edipian proportion and like out of a venezuelan soap opera . the direct touch of paez do not help at all . we have horrible music ( like from a hitchcock film and completely out of place ) and a ridicoulus atmosphere of mistrust and thriller that have nothing to do with the theme of this movie . and a bunch of support character that in their attemps to portray a heartbreaking inner pain will make you laugh . the twist near the end be so unbelievable and ( or at least so bad execute that you just do not believe it ) and that yes and the entire theatre start laugh and couldn not stop until the final credit roll . it be painful . but i couldn not stop laugh either . it be painful because two terrific actor be waste and bad and be be put on a ridicule position here . in a movie that have no direction at all and no believability and just nothing to offer . i use to hate the music from fito paez and but i beg to god that the guy stay on that s rather than go back and make another movie . latin american cinema be low on resource and they shouldn not be waste on film like this .
