La ráfaga (2020)
A short film with amazing depth: Two closeted men forced into revealing their true selves.
In the aftermath of hurricane Rose, Puerto Rico was stripped nude of all foliage leaving no place to hide from the sun and heat. Two closeted men living next to each other are compelled to reveal themselves.
The viewer is drawn into a maze of metaphors pointing to the subjects lives and country being in the middle. The intricacies of the metaphors is quiet deep including the one of the subjects passing appearance to the famous poet.
The Chilean poet Pablo Neruda works are quoted, and references of being the middle much like the poet's life.
The acting is very good. Both characters are relatable, and their positions understandable considering the background in which they are presented. It's a short film, and this viewer would have loved to see a longer version of La Rafaga.
