Spinnin' is a wonderfully exuberant, multi-layered Spanish drama. MADRID 1995. Garate and Omar are young, gay and in love, and want to have a child. After failed attempts with their female pals, they befriend Raquel, a pregnant woman whose partner has died of aids. Sound conventional? Spinnin' is anything but. It is a wildly entertaining, inventive and cheeky film that throws the audience in the centre of these friends' chaotic lives, and celebrates being alive. Garate and Omar are surrounded by myriad colourful characters: from new-born babies to Garate's 60 plus father who is falling in love again; to two policemen who list things that are important to them, in the desire that their lists match up; to a couple who are either kissing each other, or fighting - both with equal passion; and many, many others. There's not a dull minute in this whirlwind of a film. Surrender to the charms of Spinnin' and you will leave the cinema wanting to embrace each other, dance and throw your arms up in joy. A Festival highlight.

| User ReviewJoffrey HComplicated story line However nice executed and quite funny |
| User ReviewJason VEn DVD Amanerada, y no lo digo por el tema de que trata ni de sus personajes, si no en el sentido artistico, en el estilo, en la forma, que no en el discurso, que, tocando muchos temas que son problematica social de nuestros dias, no cohesiona nada o no lo hace contundentemente y flaquea por ello. Y este discurso social se ve envuelto en un despliegue de interacciones actorales, cirsenses, simbolicas, teatrales, coloridas y montajes atrevidos y kichts que no convencen a nadie y pecan de progre; progre de pose, de niño rico que juega a ser alternativo y que siente compasion por el projimo y la vida es bella... porque yo estoy bien. No es autentica, la utopia que retratan es blanda, no se sostiene y no crea una via real o creible para solucionar y afrontar los problemas sociales, la aceptacion de estilos de vida alternos y nuevos modelos de familia, el sida, etc. En fin, que se admira el esfuerzo pero queda solo en buenas intenciones. |
