Reseña / Review

Desde el título podría pensarse en un —otro— corto generacional acerca de las vicisitudes que vienen con los cambios en la edad, o sea con el paso del tiempo si uno sigue vivo. Pero este corto dice paso, o tomo y obligo sigo, y apunta al frenesí de la comedia de risa llanto y gritos jugada por dos actrices refulgentes. Paso y pases, con amigas que se conocen demasiado para bien y para mal, que saben acelerarse y —quizás menos— frenarse antes de que colapsen las emociones. O quizás ese sea el objetivo, el colapso un poco oscuro y desesperado y a la vez festivo, al que ayuda una dirección certera y notable para la comedia, que llega a su cénit en ese plano deadpan para el karaoke, ese plano desde afuera, sí, pero cerca de esta amistad. Pero afuera. Pero cerca. Cómo puede ser. Javier Porta Fouz

From the title, one might think this is yet another generational short film about the vicissitudes that come with the changes of age, that is, with the passage of time if one remains alive. But this short film says "pass," and points to the frenzy of comedy, laughter tears, and screams played out by two brilliant actresses. Pass and passes, with friends who know each other too well for better or worse, who know how to speed up and (perhaps less so) slow down before their emotions collapse. Or perhaps that is the goal, the slightly dark and desperate yet festive collapse, aided by a sure and remarkable direction for comedy, which reaches its zenith in that deadpan shot for karaoke, that shot from outside, yes, but close to this friendship. But outside. But close. How can it be? JPF
