No mires para abajo (2008)

No mires para abajo: Directed by Eliseo Subiela. With Antonella Costa, Leandro Stivelman, Hugo Arana, Mónica Galán. Coming of age. In Buenos Aires, Eloy is on the verge of manhood. He studies physics, helps with the family headstone business, and does advertising – handing out flyers while walking on stilts or wearing an empanada costume. When his melancholy father dies, Eloy imagines that his father visits him at night; the explanation is more pedestrian – Eloy has started sleepwalking. Things change abruptly: while sleepwalking, he falls through an open skylight into the bed of Elvira, a young woman from Barcelona visiting her grandmother. Elvira invites Eloy to become her lover and teaches him Tantric sex. Eloy discovers bliss. And his father?

“Iu0026#39;m going to have to disagree with the other reviewer when he says this is Meliesu0026#39; second film; he had been making films for a while, and this one, showing him performing a translocation trick, the IMDb thinks its his 58th film. They turned them out fast in those days.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eStill, second or 58th, itu0026#39;s good to see this. In the middle of the 1920s, when he seemed all but forgotten, a film club in Paris tried to put on a show of Meliesu0026#39; movies, and could only locate nine of them. I expect many of them are permanently lost, but we have a lot more of his more than 500 films available these days. Finding them is the real trick.”
