DI�STOLE Y S�STOLE

Colombia 2000 / 35 mm / Color / 80 min.

DIASTOLE AND SYSTOLE / DIASTOLE ET SYSTOLE DIASTOLE AND SYSTOLE is composed of thirty-five short stories which are interwoven into an a wryly humorous essay on contemporary sexual and romantic relationships, an often acerbic survey of the way couples meet and sometimes don't in a world of non-conforming liaisons. This isn't just another film on love and its many variations. It is also a film which demonstrates to what extent talent and simplicity can do so much more with less. This is a film which at once avoids the megalomania of big productions and finds a way to touch audiences emotionally. -- Hugo Chaparro (Cromos)
