A young girl with a gift for communicating with dead animals and her two gaurdians travel across Argentina.
This is a low key black and white road film. It's a film that feels as though it is often transpiring in real time. It is a film of quiet moments and looks. It's a medatative film that is not going to work for anyone who wants a big loud action film.
I find this a hard film to discuss when the audience hasn't seen it. This is a film about the trip. Its a film where watching the characters on the screen informs the story. My telling you about what happens is not going to really a true sense of what this film is. This is a film where you need to see and experience it in order to fully appreciate what the film is doing. I know that may sound like I'm trying not to write about the film, but once you see it you'll understand what I mean. (Some films require a discussion between those who have seen the tri[ and not a lecture. This is one of them)
If you like low key and deliberate film I highly recommend THE MESSAGE
