Memorias de lo que no fue (2017) Reviews
LOTS of graphic but dead-looking sex. BAD acting. Dumb, plodding story. Interesting score. That's about it.
The only thing remarkable about this movie is the rampant, relentless nudity and VERY graphic, largely un-simulated sex, which makes up well over 60% of the movie. It misses being pornography only in that -- though graphic -- none of it looks like it's really happening. I mean, one guy's thing is moving in and out of the other guy's mouth, but it looks like the guy's lips somehow are not really touching it. Weird ... very graphic, but not AT ALL erotic. The opposite, in fact ... pretty creepy. So ... Why so much sex? Beats me! I guess the director was just pushing the envelope, seeing how far he could get his actors to go on camera, for some reason of his own. It certainly does not advance the story even a little bit. It's just THERE. Everywhere. The only part of any length that does NOT include sex (and does include a LOT of talking -- 95% of the movie is soundless except for the very effective electronic score) is a bizarre scene in which Mike goes to see a very old, very queeny, sort of Mexican-Godfather "lawyer" with shoe-polish-black hair and eyebrows and lots of makeup and jewelry, who rants on and on for about ten minutes about Mexico's existential socioeconomic ills or something equally incomprehensible -- an amazingly incongruous soliloquy, read almost entirely off cue cards. I guess the actor was too old to memorize lines. So you get lots of graphic but dead-looking "sex", and an ancient, painted queen reading a long, droning speech to the camera, and a "mystery" about what happened to young guy "X" (later identified as Fernando) one night that caused him to forget EVERYTHING -- even his own name -- and wake up in Mike's bed the next morning. Almost everything about this movie is bad. Dumb, endlessly plodding story, stilted, pretentious screenplay, bad direction, bad BAD acting -- by everybody, not only the old queen -- and nearly indecipherable English subtitles ("Vanish you." for example), so it's good that there is almost no dialog. The old queen got 90% of the lines in this movie in his ten minutes of screen time. But a very interesting music score. Weird!
Awesome movie!
Brilliant, raw, real, and challenging. If this movie doesn't affect your soul then may I suggest you do some soul searching and watch it again and again until you get it! This movie will become a sociological cult classic for sure.
