Synopsis

Mario Bellatín exists: he’s a one-armed Mexican writer with an amazing vitality; even when he himself says in Winter-house that his already dead, and even when he writes auto-biographical texts where his own name perishes and is replaced by a heteronym who still recognizes himself as his own ghost. And, also, even when this film by Gonzalo Castro enters into an aimless ritual in order to turn him into a film character, a well-defined specter. The thing is that everything in Winter-house balances itself on the sharp edge of the lively world of Literature and its transformations, where that “writing without writing” practiced by Bellatin ends up condensing a thick atmosphere. A series of equally valued things take place in it: negligible acts, mystical gestures, and the everyday conversations with her daughter, his assistants, and his colleagues, recorded in fixed shots that let every word and gesture breathe to the point that the echoes spread on multiple directions. And up to the point in which Bellatin fulfills the prodigious transformation of becoming an actor with a gargantuan magnetism, transcending any kind of method or writing.
