Millions (and Millions) of Memories

Foster Wallace already demonstrated in one of his books that narrating a tourist cruise can be much less anodyne than it seems if we apply a sufficient dose of inventiveness. Something similar is achieved by Laura Rius and Carlos Solano in this unusual medium-length film, a subtle vindication of the pleasure of narrating, which transcends not only the banality of its setting, but also the premises of a story that presents itself as a documentary and then lets itself be carried away by much more unpredictable currents.
