10,000 km

A masterful single shot, staged in a Barcelona apartment, welcomes viewers to the most important feature debut to come out of the Iberian Peninsula in the past year: "10,000KM" by Spanish filmmaker Carlos Marques-Marcet.

A masterful single shot, staged in a Barcelona apartment, welcomes viewers to the most important feature debut to come out of the Iberian Peninsula in the past year: "10,000km" by Spanish filmmaker Carlos Marques-Marcet.

During the first uninterrupted 23 minutes, Alex and Sergi wake up, make love, eat breakfast and get ready to start the day, until a business proposal from the States tempts Alex into moving to L.A.

During the rest of the film, Marcet honestly documents the trials and tribulations of a relationship struggling to stay afloat, as the days go by and human contact is slowly replaced by online communication.

From the excitement of the first few weeks to the increasing mental fatigue that eventually bends their will, the camera captures every look, every unspoken emotion that clouds their faces, as they keep wondering - up until the very end - if there's a way out of the mire. K.Th.

    The Mend

    When you've seen every possible storyline turned into a movie in every possible way (and sometimes, more than once), then every time you come across something fresh, unpretentious or authentic on the silver screen, you can't help but feel the excitement of an explorer who has finally discerned a strip of land after a long journey at sea.
