Actors: Nahuel Perez Biscayart
Lucus, Nacho, and Andrea are 15 years old, bored, and horny. Although the teen-angst-coming-of-age-story genre has been done to death, this import from Argentina breaks the mold with electric performances and unique camerawork. It s a poetic look at isolation and hormones in the endless space of Patagonia and the lives of these three teenagers who are full of life and lust. Format: DVD MOVIE
In this comedy/drama set in a small town in vast, empty Patagonia, the gawky Lucas, a 15-year-old time bomb of hormones, boredom and family alienation, hangs out with his hunky best friend Nacho and bespectacled, mousey, gal pal Andrea. The threesome cope with the trials of burgeoning adolescence by getting high and getting off, mostly, in variations, with each other.

With the jolting of the camera as filming in a California earthquake,this movie is a twister and if not for a few of the "actors" its a burner.Hablo es spaniel,you better i dont and am still trying to figure out why a russian is involved.The one night high and of course a one night stand is the whole story,between two males jacking eachother off unseen after sniffing glue is it.The music in some aspect is okay except the squealling of one bad banshee and some kind of lullaby lesbians song that doesnt fit.You will be lost in circles but if you pay attention you might learn some spanish.The main revues are from family members or from the director,ask John Waters to do your next one.

What you read is not what you get. Usually, AMAZON and viewers reviews are a good guideline to choosing what to buy. Not this time. Very tame movie; definitely not what I was expecting. Nothing really gay about it, either; just a couple of high, male teenagers, supposedly going at it. It reminded me of movies of older times: you see a little un-sexy kissing at the beginnig of "the" scene and then cut to the next day. So, if what you are looking for is hot sex scenes, look elsewhere.

Good independent film movie. The movie takes place in argentina and the main actors are 3 teenagers. Okward conversation moments (or lack of them) in the film takes your memory back to when you were 15 yrs.

This movie is very slow moving. He's on the bus... he's on the bus... he's still on the bus... we get it already! they do this throughout the movie. This movie could have been done in 1/2 the run time. The mono logs attempt to be deep, but fall short. They attempt at showing intimacy between the two boys and the girl in one scene in the boys room. All they do is hold each other and kiss and it's quite boring. Wish I could get my money back and the 2 hours of my life back! Don't buy it.

In a phrase, "Glue" is Larry Clark meets Gus Van Sant. I say that in only the most complimentary of terms. The camera basically follows a 15-year old as he discovers himself. He wonders about his physical development, compares himself to his buddy, and begins to explore his sexuality. The barren expanse of Patagonia is the backdrop, the music of The Violent Femmes the appropriately angst-ridden soundtrack.
What makes it so different from most American films is that it's all just so natural. No judgments are made. We only observe through the lens of cinematographer Natasha Braier, as well as writer/director/producer Alexis Dos Santos, who did much of the camerawork himself. It's basically about mid-adolescence told, via voiceover, from the point of view of Lucas (Nahuel Perez Biscayart). Most amazingly, the entire film is improvised. Dos Santos has said that he wrote virtually no dialog at all. There was a 17-page script basically outlining the action. But the three lead actors improvised from start to finish. As it turns out, all three had attended the same acting classes where they learned improv, so they were well-versed in the art and were already friends. And it shows. The chemistry between the teens evokes those awkward years as effectively as any film I've seen.
Biscayart shines. In spite of his young age, he had over a half dozen films and TV series and is something of a teen idol in South America. In the States he'd likely be one of the most sought-after young actors in the business.
If coming-of-age films have become a bit worn in the hands of Hollywood, "Glue" will serve as inspiration and provocation to American filmmakers. It's Larry Clark in Spanish. But sweet and non-judgmental. It will leave you with a smile on your face.
