Play (2005) ****
Every once in a while, there comes a little movie so unpretentious and sweet one cannot help but to love and to admire it. This cute little gem from Chile, directed by Alicia Scherson, is like a beautiful jazz composition - it follows various characters (including beautiful Viviana Herrera), let us know them intimately, but never allows a well-structured plot to spoil the improvisational feel of the movie. In other words, "Play" is one of those "artsy foreign films" that might bore those viewers who are used to heavily-plotted and ultra-dramatized Hollywood spectacles, but it will enchant those cinephiles who enjoy de-dramatized and intimate dramas about human eccentricities. As a reviewer wrote, "the film's purposively non-exhaustive narrative creates a more subtle but deeper link between the characters and us in our enjoyable role as partial spectators".
