The Wandering Soap Opera (2017)
Every once in a while it can be eye opening and challenging to watch something completely different and very experimental. To explore new horizons and other ways the film medium can be utilized. This is a special kind of film as it was shot in the early 1990s, but edited and released in 2017 after the directors death. It is an absurd anthology of seven short films with a recurring theme of soap opera and satirizing Chilean society of the time. Being pretty unknowable about Chile there are likely a ton of things I don’t get, though this review from The Hollywood Reporter helped a great deal. The first 3 scenes are the best, as they are funny on their own without any knowledge about Chile or its politics at the time. The later scenes turns into Lynchain absurdity and I lost interest quite quickly. One of those oddities that I am glad I gave a chance, but I didn’t get a whole lot out of it.
