Benjamim
(2003)

Too complicated, but not bad
The movie is about an old man, Benjamin. The movie mainly talks about Benjamin's love story and his past. At the beginning of the movie, old Benjamin meets a woman (Ariela) who looks same as his ex-girlfriend Castana. Then, the movie goes on with two different stories about Ariela and Castana. The director used two different actors for Benjamin in order to separate old Benjamin and young Benjamin. It is interesting to see how Benjamin's story with Castana is connected to Ariela.

The movie in general is not bad. The plot is interesting and it makes the audience to think deeply about life. However, the fact that there are a lot of flashbacks makes the movie confusing. It is hard to follow the movie and some parts (especially Ariela's story) do not make sense. The director made the movie too complicated. It would be a good movie if it was simpler.
