FILM REVIEW (BLUFF)

A CANNON SHOT incomplete

Felipe Martinez makes his debut in Bluff as a director and scriptwriter of a film. He is graduated in the College of Arts and Entertainment (TAI) Madrid; He is well recognized audiovisually as publisher and director of realities, competitions and short films. Bluff has been the best Colombian film of comedy and suspense of last times, the movie does not seem to be done in Colombia because it is supported in the thriller. The cast includes; the main characters Federico Lorusso as Nicolás; Catalina Aristizábal as Margarita; Víctor Mallarino as Mallarino and Carolina Gómez as Alexandra. Bluff leaves in the light public to beginning the 2007 amid the acme of Colombian films recognized internationally. This movie is the representation of Colombia at the next Cannes Film Festival.

The film, based on deception, begins when Nicolás (Federico Lorusso), recognized photographer tries to extort Mallarino (Victor Mallarino) with some photos of him with his lover Alexandra (Carolina Gomez), threating to show his wife Margarita (Catalina Aristizábal), also former girlfriend of Nicolás. Unexpectedly, Mallarino offers the photographer increases the payment if kills his wife. The situation is further complicated when Nicolás presences the death of Rosemary (Veronica Orozco), owner of the house where he lives, at the hands of police Walter Montes (Luis Eduardo Arango), and immediately Nicolás accepts the offer Mallarino.

In addition, few movies in Colombia have betted on the comedy, a genre complicated, yet this way, Bluff is supported by another: the thriller, getting a result different from other films in the region. Likewise, its rhythm is more agile than the other Colombian productions: shorts and shocking scenes that capture the attention of the public and do not fall into monotony. Although Bluff incurs in two of the “cliches” of Colombian cinema: the accidental death of a character and injustice. Bluff does not wake up deeply the sensitivity of the viewer, Bluff uses recourses to generate emotions but momentary.

Finally, I can recommend “Bluff” with all confidence because this film is characterized by has a cast of first: good direction and impeccable musicality correct locations, which, undoubtedly, could steal the show due to their successful appearance on the essentials points of the plot. In the topic audiovisual the scenes are pleasant since the camera is not fixed all the time. Moreover Felipe Martinez plays with the movement of frames, generating tension and expectation.
