10/10
Original. Bold. Innovative. Brilliant.

Finally something different and bold comes from South America. Elipsis is a puzzle that once you start playing with it, you want to complete it to see the big picture. This is a phenomenal feature debut from Arias-Nath whom I congratulate all the way from Mexico for taking such a big risk and offering a new voice to the film world. In addition to Arias-Nath's lyrical and comfortable direction, kudos must be given to the DP and the Art Director as well. I must say I also enjoyed the score very much. The colors are vibrant in this picture, contrasting the dark places the characters visit. Very cool. Edgar Ramirez (who's about to pop in Hollywood with The Bourne Ultimatum) does an amazing job in this film. Especially at the end, which unfortunately I can't reveal because if not, I will be giving out spoilers for no reason. The other lead, Erich Wildpret, is simply amazing. This actor has a bright future. The rest of the cast was very enjoyable, with Seu Jorge at the top of the list. What a presence this guy has. From Mexico I salute Arias-Nath and his hard-working team for revamping the Venezuelan cinema that is in desperate need of a face-lift. Great film. I want to see what Arias-Nath is working on next.
