The film focuses on Laura (Grace Ulloa), who is a girlfriend with Juan (Juan Morgenfeld). When he finds out that Marcos (Franco de la Puente), his exam, has a new girlfriend (Juana Palazzi), will try to conquer her to take revenge for what he did long ago. Discontent with the situation, Laura uses her ex -partner to try to jealous to Juan. They say love is easy, we complicate it.
“The rules of the game”: a romantic comedy that plays with modern links
The director wrote the story with Juan Morgenfeld, who also stars fiction. In dialogue with scope, Szulanski tells that the filming began just the script ended: “I had certain desire to start as soon as possible. I don’t like to delay things. I prefer to keep the freshness of the original idea a bit.” Is not all declaration of love urgent? After three and a half days, the filming had come to an end.
“The rules of the game” becomes a romantic vine. The characters blinded by jealousy take refuge in others. Relationships cross each other. Who is with whom? In times of links without labels where the ego always wins, Szulanski laughs how far a person is able to arrive with a total of not recognizing what he feels.
Matías Szulanski’s new film arrives at Gaumont cinema after, months ago, exhausting his functions in Bafici. “Once it opens commercially, the film begins to exist, because before it does not exist”the director maintains.
The rules of the game (2)
Journalist: In “The rules of the game” you created your rules to film and did it in just three and a half days. Although all chemistry needs its time to build and even more in a love story, the protagonists managed to convey that closeness.
Matías Szulanski: A very small team generates closeness among all. Excluding all the actors who participate in one way or another, we were and a sound. So everyone was in tune for that because we were filming together, we went to the car for the other side, we filmed and so on. And I think that helped a lot too.
Q.: This romantic comedy is entangled in itself. Situations, conversations and even dynamics among the characters are constant repetition. And, although this was planned, it occurred naturally, almost as if I was not scarves. How did they build this?
MS: We did an exercise that seems to me that it is very good and I will continue to use it, which is not scripting everything, but not a total improvisation. We had a scallet that we had written in the script, where the concepts were. For example, A meets B and fight for this, and such a thing ends. We had how it started, the points I had to play in the middle and how I had to finish. So in one or two essays we all did, it was like developing this. They knew all the items that had to be played now where to get there, then after there They played how to get to that point you had asked.
Q.: “The rules of the game” is a romantic comedy with repetitions, but without kisses. Why did you make this decision?
MS: Now I am perhaps even morally against kisses in cinema because it seems to me that it is a way to underline something that already exists. If you cannot show it otherwise, it is like resorting to the gross more to show the love of two people. I believe that perhaps when there is a couple, but there are no kisses, the relationship can be shown a much deeper way.
Q.: And other nuances can also be explored as in this film. These characters expose their insecurities, their fears and everything they dare to say. In other words, a non -traditional romantic comedy.
MS: It is a little explored genre or yes, but in a very advertising or very cliché way. I do not know if there are so many romantic meals that do not get out of the mold without ceasing to be romantic meals.
