Martes de carnaval

About This Movie

So, 'Martes de carnaval' is an interesting piece to discuss. It’s this drama-thriller hybrid where a writer grapples with his demons—literally and metaphorically, thanks to his addiction to alcohol. The film dives deep into the haze of nostalgia, as he drifts back in time to his teenage years during Mardi Gras. The pacing has this dreamlike quality, almost disorienting at times, which really reflects the protagonist's struggle. The atmosphere is thick with a sense of foreboding and longing. The performances are quite raw, capturing the turmoil and complexity of the characters. Practical effects are kept minimal but effective, making the surreal moments feel grounded. It’s a unique exploration of memory, regret, and the allure of the past, definitely leaves an impression.
