What would be a great idea for a 20-minute short may be a disaster as a feature film.

If nothing else, Mr. Guerin has neatly captured the sweet, erotic alienation of being a single man at his leisure in a foreign town, dazzled by the passing procession of local beauties.

Top CriticThe director’s near-silent tour of quaint European street scenes is even more adept at making the picturesque seem pretentious, as well as at reminding you that male-model good looks don’t make antisocial behavior any less creepy.
12/10/08
Pure pleasure and pure cinema.

Top CriticWould be trying if not for the confidence, grace and subtlety with which José Luis Guerín handles his deliberately open-ended material.

Guerin conducts with ultimate patience, knowing that his gentle tone will take us along rather than make us impatient.

Utilizando um design de som absolutamente fantástico para recriar a percepção do herói em seus passeios pela cidade, o filme é uma ode ao sexo feminino.

A young man on a mission of love follows the yearning of his heart and savors the many delights of people watching in the city.
10/06/07
An airy, ultra-Gallic delight whose apparent weightlessness is anchored by real substance.
