DVD Reviews of Km.0
DVD Review: "Now I need something else to lick"
Summary: 4 Stars
Km.0, a sweet-natured and gloriously vibrant Spanish film, is perhaps possessed of one of the most beautiful looking casts that I've ever seen in a movie. Full of pretty men, and women, Km.0 is all about the importance of serendipity and providence, and that life's choices and coincidences can sneak up on you, just when you least expect it.
It's August, and Madrid is absolutely sweltering. In fact, it's so hot that everyone, distracted by the heat, is prone to getting his or her connections scrambled. When fourteen separate people show up for arranged liaisons at central Madrid's Puerta del Sol, where the street marker reads Kilometer Zero, they end up loving and connecting in ways that they never intended to.
Paths unexpectedly intersect, misunderstandings are randomly accepted, new relationships are formed, and the steamy heat raises new passions in a fluid dance of sex and love. The plot is contrived and the idea is far from original, but producers Juan Luis Iborra and Yolanda García Serrano, imbue the proceedings with such a fresh-faced effervescence, that the movie's shortcomings fail to diminish its many free-spirited and bubbly moments.
The neurotic hooker, Tatiana (Elisa Matilla) arranges to meet Sergio (Alberto San Juan), a nervous virgin, and ends up instead with Pedro, a young student (Carlos Fuentes) who fancies himself as a film director. After nearly being run down by him, Silvia (Mercé Pons), highly-strung actress tries to get a temperamental producer (Georges Corraface) to give her an audition.
In the same diner where this takes place, the diner's owner (Alberto San Juan) rebuffs the advances of his fiancée's underage sister, while said fiancée, Amor (Silke Klein) goes shopping and gets repeatedly robbed. Amor eventually gets tangled up with Roma (Cora Tiedra) and a love-struck policeman (Roberto Álamo).
Meanwhile, Miguel (Jesús Cabrero), a hunky gigolo, trysts with Marga, (Concha Valasco), an older woman who is unhappily married, while Miguel's gay roommate, Benjamín (Miguel García), takes advantage of a case of mistaken identity to have sex with a horny flamenco dancer (Victor Ullate Jr.). Tatiana ends up taking sex advice from Máximo (Armando del Río), the easygoing gay guy, and the original man who missed his computer date with the flamenco dancer.
At first glance, all the connections may seem a little confusing, but the pacing is steady and the characters larger than life, so you never have that much trouble following all the diverse episodes. There are also various subplots that effectively bounce off each intersection of the characters: Marga discovers she has a long-abandoned child; Pedro gives Tatiana a makeover from a cheap to a high-priced whore; and Máximo has a strange transformation into some kind of real, rather than figurative, guardian angel.
As with a lot of films that come out of Spain, Km.0 has a great deal of excessively overt confessional dialogue, so viewers who don't speak Spanish really have to pay attention to the subtitles. I also wouldn't read much into the sexual polemics of Km.0. Is it a romantic comedy? Well, perhaps, but it's probably more of a romantic drama, where the topic of sex pops up every moment that it can.
Whatever the case, Km.0 has a refreshingly earnest sexual frankness, which is both hip and cute at the same time. And let's not forget the absolutely beautiful cast - Km.0 is totally worth watching just for all the sexy actors alone. Mike Leonard. August 05.
