Seeking to ease his suffering—-not just the physical suffering, but also the emotional aspects of his malaise—-Pablo sets off in search of the love of his life. He places personal ads in magazines, cruises the gay scene of Buenos Aires, and falls in with some people who introduce him to sadomasochistic sexual practices and leather fetishism. By exploring the relationship between pain and desire, he finds a way to eroticize his pain and tame the monster lurking within him. --© Strand Releasing [More]

Pablo's romantic quest eventually does become doggedly compelling.

Trying to succeed as a poet, living with a deranged family member, managing the ravages of HIV/AIDS - why does no one call back?

we get the chance to ponder whether some of the twisted deviants among us perhaps aren't as twisted or deviant as we first thought.

There are some unforgettable images in the film, even though the story doesn't go much of anywhere.

The openness of Minujín's understated, expressive portrayal lies at the core of an equally impressive film -- beautifully but unpretentiously shot and scored with spot-on supporting performances.

Distaff helmer Anahi Berneri alternates between long lenses and jarring, fragmentary close-up shots, creating an assured and forceful visual cocktail that serves grim quest well.

A Year Without Love isn’t a sex movie (so don’t expect one), but a studied examination of how one man folds jarring events into the everyday fabric of his life.

[The film] may whip a rather specialized audience into a frenzy. But for others, A Year Without Love will be a less pleasurably painful experience.
