Just like the break-up album, the break-up film has become a genre in itself. How do you keep on living when your everyday loops are forever broken? In this case –in Franco Verdoia and Pablo Bardauil’s second film after their 2006 debut, the collective film Chile 672– the ending is the first thing we learn, and the its consequences are treated with a great structural delicacy that follows each struggling half all throughout identical portions with long, minded and at times uncomfortable shots. Supported on Carlos Belloso and María Onetto’s precise and contained performances, which oscillate between despair and resignation, Life After finds a new and elegant way new to insert itself into the tradition of speaking about whatever happens when love ends despite our will, and about the pathetic and spectral gestures destined for something that will never be back.
