Sidewalls is a clever romantic comedy examining with charm how the architecture of a city conditions the lives of two of its residents. Taretto pays homage to the city of Buenos Aires as he reflects on how urban chaos, as well as new technologies, can unite people but also keep them apart (as the sidewalls of the title). Mixing animation, photography and graphic art he reveals the characters’ isolation and anxieties that are a staple of modern life in a noisy city that nonetheless has an irresistible charm.(c) (ifc)
Putting this on my list, looks interesting.
I started watching this with my Mom, but she fell asleep and we used that as an opportunity not to finish it. I found this one kind of depressing, actually… I liked the concept but not so much the actual film…
Emily, I agree that there is a darkness to it. I really liked how the two main character’s personalities intersected.
This looks awesome! I love when movies focus on a city I’ve never been to, it always makes me crazy to travel. I am interested in the other aspects of this movie too, the combination of animation and photography sounds interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the recommend!!
Putting this one on my list to watch…Thanks!
Hope your enjoying the holiday weekend!
