Tonight’s Movies!

Tonight is Uruguayan Ennui Night for Death and Dismemberment Thursday. These two films represent the too-brief collaboration between Juan Pablo Rebella and Pablo Stoll, two dudes from Montevideo. Juan Pablo Rebella would die by his own hand in 2006, with a half-empty bottle of whiskey on his desk. Uruguay has one of the highest suicide rates in the western hemisphere. Both films are almost entirely static shots. Not much happens. There’s echoes of Ozu to me; 25 Watts (2001) has been compared to Clerks (1994). Whisky (2004) has a quiet monotony to it that may end up subverted at the end. Echoes of Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1975), which we watched a week ago.

25 Watts (2001)

A couple of dudes hang out on a summer day in Montevideo. Not much happens. The dialogue sparkles; I’ve included Spanish subtitles for anyone who wants a taste of rioplatense magic.

Whisky (2004)

Stolen from IMDB:

When his long-lost brother resurfaces, Jacobo, desperate to prove his life has added up to something, looks to scrounge up a wife. He turns to Marta, an employee at his sock factory, with whom he has a prickly relationship.
