Dos Miradas (Two Looks)

Drama

When two friends awake to find themselves naked and entangled, a volatile drama unfolds as they struggle towards the moment of truth in their relationship.

The first girl to leave the bed is bewildered. Along with her, we begin to put together the pieces of their night as she trips on empty wine bottles and endures a deep struggle in the shower, trying to scrub the night off of her skin.  

Acting sweetly about the turn in their relationship, her partner wakes alone and quickly makes breakfast. There they sit in a strangely visceral silence, one speaking gently with patience and soft eye contact, the other lashing out at flies and hurling insults.  All the while director Sergio Candel holds his camera in wait, and lets the distance between the two women fill up with all the things they do not say.

Fully improvised and laced with stunning cinematography of the San Pedro de Atacama desert in Chile, Two Looks is an engrossing film that is intellectual in the sexiest way.
