Hmm. The imdb rates it 6.9/10.

Generally, I won't seek out a film that rates lower than 7.0/10, especially when there are probably only two copies of it floating around North America. I did come across this review, which almost paints the film as a parody of 3rd world independent cinema pretention:
"Argentinean filmmaker Carlos Sor�n (Historias m�nimas, El Perro) gracefully reflects on late-life recollections and mortality itself in this wry, would-be narrative B-side to Terence Davies's nostalgic cine-essay Of Time and the City, inspired by the spirit of Bergman's Wild Strawberries. Wisely eschewing a musical score or a denser storyline to focus attention to its expansive images and scrupulous details, the film takes place over one day in the remaining life of Antonio, an octogenarian writer who only sees the world through his bedside window in the Patagonian countryside. As his staff prepares for his son's arrival and the piano tuner fills the hacienda with splintered notes, the limited stimulus sparks Antonio's memories, his final hours playing out like delicate, melancholic poetry."
I think I'll pass. Avatar is out on DVD this week!
(On second thought, maybe something in between the two would be better...)
