Taretto expresses his patent adulation for Woody Allen through the absolutely beautiful opening sequence that is very reminiscent of the opening sequence in Allen's 'Manhattan'. The film itself is even watched by Martín and Mariana at one point in the film. Just as Woody has done with New York, Taretto has personified the city of Buenos Aires, illuminating the city's architecture, accentuating it's alluring presence throughout the film. A very simplistic narrative that centres around Martín and Mariana - alienated individuals that yearn for something unembellished and honest. I found the solitariness of both characters and the secluded nature of the film incredibly endearing, echoing this isolated tone from the likes of Lost in Translation and Magnolia.
