Buzz: It’s difficult to discuss a movement when one gets that sense that we might be in still in the nascent stages of it, but such as the new wave of Romanian films, Uruguay is seeing a definite collective that Pablo Stoll started along with the late Juan Pablo Rebella by introducing 25 Watts and Whisky to the int. film community. Stoll borrows family members, keeps the dialogue to a minimum, cranks up the volume and I imagine explores some personal turf with his first solo effort dedicated to the memory of his creative partner.
The Gist: Set in Montevideo, Juan sings in a rock band, but he doesn’t talk much. He also works at a bakery during the night and sleeps most of the day. This is the story of one of his days and what happens when he wakes up. Hiroshima is a silent musical, based on real facts.
