Synopsis

Girls in conversation mode. Girls talking about love. Girls talking about love in a Shakespearean, intellectual and Buenos Aires style. Girls as seen by Matías Piñeiro, who has built himself a both recognizable and outstanding filmography in the context of Argentine cinema, with The Stolen Man, They All Lie, Rosalinda, and now Viola. Here, he uses Twelfth Night as a starting point and focuses on indoor dialogues and rehearsals in the first segment, using close-ups. Then, he follows Viola through the streets of Buenos Aires. She delivers films on copied DVDs, as part of the activity of the pirate company called Metropolis, which she co-owns with her boyfriend, Javier. Connections, coincidences, encounters, love, dialogues. Concentrating on those things – and on doing them right – with a light and brilliant touch for emotional trade, Piñeiro proves to be a growingly confident filmmaker regarding his resources, themes, and style; and he even allows himself to have a dialogue with music at the end of the film. And yet Viola has a musical, rhythmic and graceful flow throughout: Piñeiro’s cinema knows how to combine stylistic stability and confidence with perpetual motion. Javier Porta Fouz
