Spoiler-Free Judgment Zone
It was a disappointing follow-up to a wonderful side A. It’s a series of images and clips, some strobing with fast words spewed at us, some longer and slower. All grainy and distorted. While we think we saw what they were trying to accomplish, we can’t recommend it.
Synopsis
Elena from the first film narrates. She talks about photography as we watch an epilepsy-inducing montage of shots from the first film. Credits roll.
Elena describes old Ulises as if he were the subject of a nature documentary. There are elephants howling in the background.
We then see many of what appear to be scenes cut from the film, all sped up and covered in bland piano music. We then get jumbled scenes of the mysterious man downstairs. Then it follows various segments and scenes of the characters from part A accompanied by music and disjointed narration.
Commentary
The first film, Part A, was one of the best things I’ve seen all year; certainly in my top ten of 2021. Part B, on the other hand, can easily be dismissed as “tedious and completely unnecessarily pretentious crap.” I think I’m going to leave it there.
Give Part B a try to decide for yourself. But our thought is to save yourself an hour. Watch Part A and skip part B.
