An average movie

In fact, with my film club, we were supposed to watch 'Happy End' from Michael Haneke but, because of some huge snow storm, it was cancelled at the last minute. Our meeting was eventually rescheduled a couple of weeks later and we went to see this movie instead. Well, even though the majority of my film club really enjoyed this movie, to be honest, I really struggled to care about the damned thing. I mean, the Argentinian landscapes were gorgeous, I really liked these characters thanks to solid performances from the cast but, eventually, this story didn't really work for me. Seriously, I felt bad for this poor woman who seemed to be already so sad and, suddenly, she also lost her bag with all her belongings and the only reason why was that, otherwise, she wouldn't meet this guy and there wouldn't be any story to tell which was rather mean. Then, to make things worse, this bag remained a main issue through the whole thing just to provide an excuse for the characters to spend more time together. Well, I thought it was some rather poor story telling and I wish they would have found some other way for us to spend some time with these otherwise interesting characters. Anyway, even if I didn't care much for this movie, it was still an interesting watch and it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
