It is a performances centric movie
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
Four young ladies traveling the countryside (Argentina?) come across a young girl beaten and raped. They take her to the police station and discover a cop was involved. In turn they are raped, tortured, beaten, and some are killed. The revenge part takes place 15 minutes from the end which made what should have been good climatic scenes, anti-climatic.The opening sound track of techno-death metal was decent, but then they didn't bother to use it. The English subtitles used the British spellings but also too frequently misspelled words such as "dont" and "colledge." The girls did some fast talking in the beginning as subtitles raced across the screen and then there was hardly any talking. You never got to know the characters in spite of a long poorly shot car drive scene where there was a lot of wasted silence. The film starts out claiming "it did happen" which is a credible as a Presidential tweet.Now if you just want to see young girls get raped without much of a story, this is the film.Guide: F-word, rape, nudity
Rape/revenge movies aren't supposed to be enjoyable. And this is not enjoyable but it's a great piece of film making and a great addition to the genre. For many, it may feel far too slow and even dull, but that's where the strength and power of the movie lies. As with Funny Games, the director refuses to rush through the mundane, forcing the viewer to acknowledge the reality simulated on the screen. An exploitation director wouldn't spend 3 minutes on burial, let alone on a long shot of it. Adrián García Bogliano also takes defies convention by keeping the soundtrack minimal and ambient emphasizing the dull horror of not only the rapes, but of the revenge. The huge accomplishment of this movie is in getting the words "subtle" and "rape/revenge movie" into the same sentence.
Having seen this movie, come up as one mean nasty brutal shocker, I was very interested in giving it a chance. I read the positive and quite provoking reviews on IMDb, got my hands no this movie, and really gave it a chance. I really wanted to... What I got in return was the dullest, most outright senseless piece of garbage I cam across in quite a while. Never was one scene interesting or thought through enough to hold my attention longer than 10 sec. Never was one of these so called "characters" (because sincerely that had NOTHING to do with acting), likable enough, for me to care for them the least bit.The scenery, laughable, the screenplay, not to mention, character design, emotional depth of each of the figures, the plot, I will write it again the PLOT, was just not existent! Thankfully due to the state of modern technology we are able to enjoy, i fast forwarded the last 30mins or so, so not more of my life time would be stolen!For those who shall be interested in watching this nonsense, read the weather forecast for the next week, it will thrill you far more than this ever could!
Looking at the cover of I'll Never Die Alone it seems to come across as some wannabe exploit flick. Which I guess it is, as it doesn't really bring anything new to the sub-genre of rape/revenge exploitation. But what it does do, it does very well.The story is about a gaggle of four femininas going on a lil drive, and they happen to pass a dying girl on the road. The other comment said one of the girls witnessed it. I guess I totally missed that. Anyways, they go back and pick her up, and see the guys who were responsible for her injuries. The baddies eventually meet up with the girls not long after...and you know what kinda things go down next.When it comes down to it the rape/revenge flick is a pretty easy exploit flick to make. Grab some gung-ho actors and actresses, and a good make-up artist. Bingo. But at the same time it's not that easy to make an accomplished one. Which thankfully is what Adrián García Bogliano has done here. With a slow-burn style that tries to suck you into the Argentine wilderness, and long intimate shots of graphic sequences, he instead of making it an overly extreme flick, it ends up becoming more emotional.As I just mentioned, the director enjoys taking long shots of his actresses. And this tends not to work so well sometimes. There were a couple one-shot sequences that lasted for far too long. A shot that felt stylish, eventually started feeling artsy, and then like the director was trying too hard. But the thing is, I'd rather have a director try hard, than not try at all.Because of a cast of pretty good actors (besides the cute flabby girl), a few choice scenes of brutal violence, some sleazy rape, and the director's appealing style, No Morire Sola very easily becomes a recommendable modern exploitation flick that many should enjoy. And one I hope to enjoy more once I see it with subtitles.
