Seu Jorge plays a small part in this movie as a Brazilian drug-lord in Caracas, and it's probably only thing worth seeing (he sings a bit too). The movie is basically about two friends: Sebastian (Edgar Ramirez) a theater actor and Galo (Erich Wildpret) a gay fashion designer, and the relationship between them and others around them , in their careers' successes and failures, and how messed up life can get when you make stupid mistakes.
"Elipsis" is, probably, the most important Venezuelan cinematographic production of our times. Last year, all the country watched "Secuestro Express", a very interesting movie that shows the national reality and which I called 'a calling to the new Venezuelan cinema'.
This is one of the best Venezuelan movies of all times. The film shows the story of two successful young artists, Sebastian (Edgar Ramirez) and Gaul (Erich Wildpret).
We all have seen a lot of movies which get you thinking "if only they have done this or that, if only this actor had done his job..." and so on.
The plot of the film is weak, relying on visuals to compensate for the lack of substance but there is an AMAZING performance by an actor named "Erich Wilfred". He completely carries the film and is the only thing worth mentioning.
I'm not accustomed to writing Internet comments, but after seeing this film in Mexico, I feel compelled to do so. The premise of the story lies on the relationship of two central characters that are brought together by the consequences of their choices.
Don't waste your time on this one. Clever advertising and $$$ couldn't save this from being one of the biggest flops in the history of Venezuelan cinema.
Finally something different and bold comes from South America. Elipsis is a puzzle that once you start playing with it, you want to complete it to see the big picture.
Elipsis is not the typical Latin American film. This one takes you to unexpected places.
