North and South
Yesterday evening, although I was very tired, I went to the movies and finally saw Enemy by Denis Villeneuve.
I can't wrap my mind around the fact that it's the same director who made this and Incendies and Prisoners. The three films are so different, even though they are all one word titled. Incendies remains my favourite, but Incendies was an adaptation of a play so maybe it's just that the stuff it was based on was better material.
But I really can't write anything about it without spoiling you big time. Let's just say that Jake Gyllenhaal delivered a good performance, playing two different characters, and that the photography director has an interesting way of shooting Toronto. That said, the writing is kinda obvious with all the clues that are given (and yet I was very tired!). If anyone else has seen it, we can discuss it in the comments.
Apparently it's World Beard Day so I leave you with a bearded Gyllenhaal in the trailer:
This morning I slept in but still had to have a nap in the afternoon...
And eventually I watched Todos tenemos un plan, an Argentinian movie starring Viggo Mortensen (I know again, he's everywhere!)...in which he plays...twin brothers.
Un Viggo es bueno, dos Viggos es mejor!
I watched it with subtitles on of course. My Spanish is too rusty, and Argentinian Spanish is not Castilian, it's much more difficult to understand. Sometimes I get everything but at other times I can't hear a thing!
