El arte de cagar

About This Movie

El arte de cagar is quite the peculiar comedy. You’ve got this seasoned writer, who's pretty set in his ways, and then enters Fernando Lara, a hotel receptionist whose life is defined by his irritable bowel syndrome. The meeting of these two characters creates a unique blend of humor and awkward situations that feels pretty fresh. You’ll notice a rawness in the performances that really drives home the absurdity of the premise. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, almost reflective of the chaotic nature of Fernando’s condition. Still, it delivers a certain charm, with practical effects used sparingly but effectively. The film digs into themes of vulnerability and the unpredictability of life, all wrapped in a comedic shell that’s definitely distinctive.
