  • Summary: Set in the otherworldly expanses of Southern Patagonia, this quirkily comic road-movie is a distinctive blend of bemused satire and gentle humanism. (New Yorker Films)

  1. The name of Hugo Colace ought to be known to the film world. He is the cinematographer of an Argentinean film called Intimate Stories. Not since some Tibetan films have I seen such vastness, sparsely inhabited, almost ringing with immensity.

    It's a perfectly realized grace note whose lack of any obvious message only reinforces the movie's abundant wisdom and patient humanism.

    Intimate Stories stays doggedly, purposefully minor, in part because director Carlos Sorin and screenwriter Pablo Solarz want to explore the casual interactions of people doing nothing.

    The english translation of the title is incorrect: "minimas" means "smallest", not "intimate," and these three stories are about the smallest you'll ever sit through. Nearly as boring as the Patagonian countryside where it takes place. Expand
