The Hot Room (1996)

It's a hot summer night. An endless silence separates the man and the woman. This apparent emptiness makes a significant contrast with their actions. As the night goes on their feelings become clearer. The atmosphere remains very tense throughout the night while an old and rusty 60's type fan continues to cool down the room. (sypnosis) "Guillermina Zabala's 'The Hot Room' is a moodily photographed, lingering look at a failed romantic relationship. It is not the most fascinating of subjects, but Zabala shows an artist's eye for detail and a keen understanding of the beauty with which lights touch the film's subjects." Ernesto Lechner.
