    Una pelicula que no tiene nad aque ver con su titulo, muestra el pscicotico que hay en cada uno de nosotros cuando nos enfrentamoas a una dura desilucion amoroza. muy bien producida, el contenido es divertido, pero su final es muy parco. es un espejo delo que no hay que hacer. yo le doy un 9 en la escala de 1-10. veala vale la pena, si usted es una buen critico de cine y tiene objetividad.

    A nice surprise that's offbeat, off-kilter but not off-putting, THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA is a movie made by a filmmaker who is able to avoid cliché--or, when he uses it, to surprise you with the result. All about obsession, it combines mystery, psychology and character in a manner that keeps you guessing and a little creeped-out. The credit sequence alone should nail your interest, and what follows is just as odd--and entertaining. Architecture, the ocean, jealousy, maleness and more: Argentine writer/director Damian Szifron has worthwhile things to say about these subjects and an uncommon film vocabulary with which to say them. Daniel Hendler ("Waiting for the Messiah," "Lost Embrace") is quite good in the lead role, and Dolores Fonzi and Gustavo Garzon maintain the same high level in support. Szifron appears to possess more than the merely cynical approach to content, style and life chosen by so many young filmmakers (he's 30). His juxtapositions, in particular, are thought-provoking.
