Watch PVC-1 For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Just so you know it's spelled Colombia, not Columbia (totally different places so please keep in mind) Sadly, this movie wasn't neither mentioned nor promoted in Colombia. Maybe this is because only three of the main characters are actually professional actors. The rest of the cast comes from the town in which they shot the movie, also, they were casted at least one week before the shooting, so for those who complained about the acting, this is the reason why. Another sad fact is that while the movie won several awards (and money) the local actors never got paid.For instance, my Father plays one of the policemen, Coronel Ríos (big guy with the deep voice) and my Uncle plays one of the terrorists from the beginning. Till today they haven't seen a dime! Pretty unfair huh? This is the reality of this country. Injustice!!!

I started to feel like I'm wasting my time when the family around the main character pretend to be crying, such a poor acting. The film idea is actually good but the ridiculous execution of it... oh dear: "a high tech bomb, remotely controlled, fit into a pvc pipe glued around the neck of a woman that lives in a poor rural area" it's out of place as a minimum. Now and again the bomb emits a sound and the reaction of the characters... feels like watching kids acting at a local school theatre. -(fake tears) -Papito! -(fake tears) -Mamita! -(fake tears) -Goto first fake tears and repeat. There are some interesting ideas though, like the run looking for help and the way the camera is used throughout the movie, but bottom line it feels like a 10 years old trying to paint a Gioconda.Nice try

I'm sure hearing that the movie was shot in one take attracted the attention of many people, me included. Sadly, while it is pretty cool to see a movie filmed like this, it can be slow or boring at moments, as probably expected. I also felt that the movie had no tension or suspense. You would think there would be, seeing as it's about a woman with a bomb strapped to her neck, but it was lacking. Instead of suspense, I just was waiting to see if the bomb did or didn't explode at the end. I wanted to like this movie, but it just left me unsatisfied. While is was a very interesting concept, this movie ended up being very disappointing.

I'm a working actor actor in Los Angeles and being involved in film and theatre since the age of 7. This last week I was fortunate enough to view a piece of cinematic history called PVC-1. I watched the movie at the LA Greek festival and I found myself in awe. Not only the director had the ability to shoot the entire movie in a continuous shot of 87 min but in those 87 min he had the ability to capture the audience's heart. With subtle movements of the camera he was able to express raw and electrifying emotions.As a friend of mine described it with tears in his eyes after we were leaving the auditorium:" I haven't felt so human in years". There is something glorifying in achieving catharsis through a movie, something that many theoreticians believe it's only achievable in the theatre or opera. But Mr. Stathoulopoulos did it. And when i heard him speak about his film later that day i understood how he was able to do it. It wasn't his superb knowledge of technical matters or breathtaking ability of steady cam usage, but the simple fact that he cares about his fellow humans. With a mixture of humility and the self confidence possessed only by those who know that they are destined to succeed Mr.Stathoulopoulos explained the inspirational force behind PVC-1.Im not a critic and i never had the intention of being one, but i've being watching movies since i can remember. Fortunately i was raised on Fellini, Visconti and Kurosava and i can say with confidence that all three of them would have generously applauded PVC- 1.Thanks once more to the director and artists involved in the production. it was an experience i will cherish for the rest of my life.
