IMDB


The Life of Fish from director Matías Bize, is Chile's official entry to the 83rd Academy Awards Best Foreign Language Film category.  It is a simple and intimate film set in a small house party with great dialogue and quite impressive cinematography for being limited to such a confined space.  Although the story is simple and predictable, the characters are believable and played by some very talented actors.

sounds like a good movie to have on in the background, but these types of movies can't really captivate my attention for some reason
