The opinion of Nobody is watching us

The Argentinian film "Nadie Nos Mira", directed by Julia Solomonoff, premiered in the country's theaters. The film, which takes place in New York and Buenos Aires, tells the story of a famous actor who decides to go to the United States to try his luck at the movies.

Nobody looks at us, no. Let no one see that we love each other, that we kiss each other, that we touch each other. Nobody looks at our sticky hands after bad, no one sees us catch a baby with those same hands, caress his face. Let no one look at a babysitter, let everyone believe that we are males, males. Let no one listen to our Latin accent, our bad pronunciation of English. Let no one know that we are illegal, poor, unemployed. Let no one know that we exist. Let's be like them. For the normal ones. Those who win, those who are loved until the end, the flutists accompanied by mice, sellers and their buyers.

Let's make a broken gay movie, destroyed by a love that could not be, a liar love, a love that is not love. Let's make a movie of people that no one is watching. A film that Julia Solomonoff has already realized, the Argentine director who went to live in New York when everything was to do, when she was under thirty and that she felt that the world was burning and that she was the wind. Let's do a movie that already exists: Nobody looks at us . Let's do it or let's go. Let's see the reflection of what we are: a binary monster, gray and waxed. A monster hungry for success and without breath to move, wanting to eat the world, but without fangs to devour him.

A slow, calm, sad, melancholy film. A film that is what it is thanks to Guillermo Pfenning, winner of the Best Actor Award at the Tribeca Film Festival, for his performance as Nico. This Argentine immigrant who is in New York escapes the pain of love, trying to climb into the world of gringo performance and with a reputation behind his back in the country that he has left. Guillermo Pfenning who went to parties without money to understand his character, who worked for weeks in a bar to hit with drunkards like Nico in the film.

Let's look at Solomonoff's film and ask what we are watching. A film that is not supernatural and therefore deserves to be seen. Because it's simple, like what happens to us. Because it's nostalgic, like goodbye. But with an important end, with a statement: Look at us! This opens the way to truth, to freedom. A final without frills, but devastating: we must see the truth in the eyes, it is never too late to go home.
