El Muerto is the story of a Spanish man in Argentina who one day becomes aware on the upper floor of a hospital in Buenos Aires of his approaching death. He decides to escape, to flee towards the north and across Argentina. This last cross has no specific destination. Only matters movement and sensation of extreme freedom, but above all, the feeling to leave behind only the last moment of life. Hit-man of his condition, he is intimate with death. That's why he serenely moves forward her. His long wondering, being similar by many aspects to a modern novel of cavalry. In this paradoxical movement of avoiding death while rushing towards her, he meets a women, she will be his rider. This movie is the story of a hit-man who does not murder. A story of guns that don't do fire, dogs and roads.
Leave your thoughts about The Dead Man and Being Happy.
| Slant MagazineMatthew ConnollyAt once familiar and enigmatic, Javier Rebollo's The Dead Man and Being Happy feels like a connect-the-dots film with a few lines artfully blurred. |
| The New York TimesNicolas RapoldStories of humanized hit men make for a small but well-trod patch of screenwriting terrain, but The Dead Man and Being Happy quickly transcends that territory to become a beguiling road movie. |
| ClarínGaspar ZimermanWith few words and austere expressiveness, [José] Sacristán manages to give shape to a creature both credible and likable. [Full review in Spanish] |
| User ReviewMark CA mildly entertaining romp through Argentina. |
| User ReviewNakimi TThis is another one of those Latin American movies with no plot, no substance, no story, that pretend to be profound and thought provoking while being simply shallow and empty. It feels like a 16 year old's first attempt at making a movie. |
| User ReviewAlan WA Goddard-esque journey through Argentina where a dying professional assassin travels and laments on the people he has killed in his life while a female (and occasionally a male) voiceover tells us what is happening on screen like a university student eulogizing over an end of term paper - OR a total piece of nonsense that goes nowhere and test the patience (and consciousness or lacking thereof) of its audience. I think you know which one I pick. |
