FAQ- a film from Carlos Atanes

Here is another Carlos Atanes film for you to experience. Now all of the stories I have watched from him thus far have been very different than anything I have seen before. Some didn’t make sense but that was the beauty of it-they just didn’t need to. They were like a wild trip thru this man’s dreams and fascinations, and FAQ is no different. I really didn’t get the jist of it but it seemed like the women were the leaders in this one.

What I want to know is what was the white stuff they all were drinking, it was to thin to be milk…how odd that I want to know that right? FAQ told the tale of mutation. You see all sorts of weird specimens in jars. The shelves against the walls were covered in jars of them! The two women working talk about how one of the giant specimens mother took out one of their boats today and it sunk!

I liked the part where the men were lined up along the wall like jail suspects and each were asked what punishments they are willing to do to themselves. One man makes a joke out of it and pays the price with receiving a lobotomy. It was cool when they brought him back and the man talked thru the hole in the other’s head! I would think you would categorize this in the Sci Fi section of your films- it leans towards that.

At the end two characters walk off the set and discuss love and could she love a man finally deciding that she thinks she could in private away from all the others peering eyes. Was this the only woman out there that could possibly want a man? Watch FAQ and email me your take on this film, I am interested to hear what you think of it. Plus you need to tell me what they hell they got in that glass!
