Review of Suddenly

Suddenly (2002)
a road-movie with lesbians? I bet you've never seen that before
20 September 2003
Warning: Spoilers
Tan de repente based on a book takes place in Argentina which along with Chile is the most southern populated place on earth. The story starts in the Buenos Aires where two rebellious lesbians the prettier Mao and the not so pretty Lenin convince an overweight woman, Marcia to follow them promising her they will have sex. Marcia who has never thought of herself being a lesbian is reluctant to follow the two girls, thinks about her work but having some emotional problems herself decides to go on a trip with the 2 women. The 3 women steal a taxi, leave Buenos Aires and visit other smaller cities where they meet all kinds of people. They decide to settle for a few days at a small town by the sea where Lenin has an aunt she hasn't seen for 9 years. We find out that Lenin's real name is Veronica. We never find out what Mao's real name is.

Veronica's aunt Blanca lives with Della an art teacher and Phelipe a biology student who rent a room in her house.

The 6 people spend the weekend together before the 3 women return to Buenos Aires. We learn that all of them have some secrets and they all learn a thing or 2 about themselves that weekend. I won't give any more spoilers because I don't want to ruin it for anyone but I really enjoyed this movie.

I haven't seen many movies from Argentina but the landscapes (and the seascapes) of that country are beautiful and sometimes you really do feel it's the end of the world.
