Hiroshima
(Pablo Stoll, Uruguay, 2010, DigiBeta, 79 min) Pablo Stoll's debut solo feature quickly morphs into one of the most pleasantly quixotic works of cinema in recent memory. A silent musical based on real facts, Stoll delivers an absurdist journey through the mundane day of a slacker, where all spoken dialogue is replaced by intertitles. Based on and inspired by Stoll's enigmatic real life brother (also the main actor), we accompany Juan as he goes about his own (very intriguing) life for a day. Far from silent, the film is full of ambient sounds and the superb soundtrack of underground Uruguayan punk and rock bands that Juan listens to on his headphones, all of which forces us to tune into ambient sounds. Stoll shows with Hiroshima that he is at the center of Uruguayan cinema, with cameos by Adrián Biniez (Gigante), Federico Veiroj (Acné) and Manuel Nieto Zas (La Perrera).
"Stoll exhibits his own mastery of the medium with Hiroshimathe climax is a spectacularly simple synthesis of form and content." Screen International
