Viola

Plot Summary:

In "Viola," Piñeiro ingeniously fashions out of William Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" a seductive roundelay among young actors and lovers in present-day Buenos Aires. Mixing melodrama with sentimental comedy, philosophical conundrum with matters of the heart, "Viola" bears all the signature traits of a Piñeiro film: serpentine camera movements and slippages of language, an elliptical narrative and a playful confusion of reality and artifice.
