My curiosity about Cosmos surrounded its locations, at Sintra. In the end... it was basically just it. The surprising bonus feature was Victória Guerra (and other locations: Ericeira and Covilhã).
So, besides the travel documentary nature of it (LOL), it is mainly a French comedy with all of its clichéd loud family, crossed with some weird elements in the way David Cronenberg would do back in the days (but in this case, just pointless).
It interesting how this movie fits so well in Portugal, where this French style of overacting reminds me of Portuguese soap operas with a theatrical overacting that sometimes even spill over into some of their movies. I understand the orgasms that this type of movie might give to those arthouse pseudo-intellectual audiences... but this is just a piece of an eclectic absurdity. Is this "comedy" supposed to make you laugh? Even when I was hit with that "stain" scene, coming out from nowhere, I was like... 😮 (... nothing...). I mean, the whole movie was like... 😮 ("WTF?!"). Yup, Andrzej Zulawski really tried to "challenge the notion of narrative" but, unfortunately, to the point of making fun of the non-pseudo-intellectual-audience. What an absurdity!
Basically, around some cheap and pointless omen happenings (in order to add absolutely nothing to the movie) we follow the mental gibberish of a writer in a kind of cross-reality with his writings and a series of weird (or poorly drafted) relationships. In the end, this is a total waste of time.
Enjoy!
