Love on a Wkend- Review

Tres piezas de amor en un fin or Love on a Wkend as translated (US), a spanish film by Salvador Agurrie  with a huge cast but no special or main protagonist. The film shows three different classes over a period of one weekend. I feel the movie isn't all that great to have won awards.

Alright it was prior to the presidential elections and at places political issues in the country are shown. The condition of the less earning class is shown infact pretty nicely but then I don't see a particular connection in the story. Its just too haphazard and the sex element is way overdone, like for no particular reason. Swapping partners is something i could see very prominently.

I did somehow feel that, even though on the surface the Love peices were of couples, there were ideas of other senses of love, family love, motherly love, love for one's country or political beliefs, extra-marital love, love for football and how the love for one's country is shown through love towards a sport the country plays and so on.

Nothing about the movie kept me interested halfway through i was bored.

The setting however i think is beautiful and apt to the class being shown at a particular time throughout the movie. the rich look very rich, the poor look poor and troubled. The camera was well used when characters are in deep thought, close-ups make a really good impact.

But overall, I don't think anything about the movie would keep me hooked on.
