Lovely Loneliness (Amorosa Soledad)
Sun 5th April 6:45pm Australian Premiere
Martín Carranza, Victoria Galardi, 85 min, Argentina, 2008. Comedy
This warm, lovely romantic comedy won the Youth Prize at the recent San Sebastián Film Festival. It's the story of waifish Soledad, a walking contradiction, full of life but constantly believing herself to be ill, is as amusing and whimsical as the trinkets sold by its winningly kooky heroine. When Soledad vows to spend the next three years of her life single to avoid being let down again in love, fate is equally capricious and delivers a man with whom things flow in an unexpected way, at the same time as her ex-flame wants her back. An extraordinary, intimate film about love and its setbacks, with the wonderful performance of Inés Efron bringing a magical universality to a girl who lives in Buenos Aires, but you've seen her browsing in Brunswick Street.
"Perfectly formed, spot-on dialogue and understanding that true worth lies in attention to psychological detail." Variety
Cast: Inés Efron, Nicolás Pauls, Fabián Vena, Monica Gonzaga, Ricardo Darin, Diego Velásquez, Santiago Giralt
