Reviews:

A beautifully written and acted love story
There are certain qualities that independent films tend to have- whether they were filmed in Chile or France, whether in Spanish or English. The awkward pauses, incomplete sentences, and seemingly unemotional reactions of characters are all independent traits that also appear in Bonsai. While these characteristics have always slightly annoyed me, this was the first film I’ve seen of this variety in which I was able to somewhat relate to at least one of the characters.

Bonsai, deep down, is a romantic dramedy bouncing back and forth through time, showing us the life of a young(ish) writer/intellectual. Julio meets Emilia at a strange party, when he randomly asks her (it’s not clear how well they know each other) if he can sleep in her bed with her. After some awkward dialogue, it is revealed that they both have a great love of books, and within minutes they are making sweet love. For the rest of the story we bounce back and forth between his growing relationship with Emilia and the present, eight years later, where he is stuck in an even stranger relationship with his neighbor, a woman called Blanca.

Blanca and Julio’s relationship consists of nightly visits to each other’s apartments for some (yet again) awkward, but deeply intelligent conversations and passionate sex. They don’t talk about themselves too deeply, instead their discussions revolve around what they are currently interested in. For Blanca, it is her translation work and for Julio it is a fake job that he has transcribing a novel for a somewhat famous writer. It appears Julio may also work at some kind of National Library, as he spends a decent amount of time there- sometimes helping out and other times selling his books.

Meanwhile, in flashbacks we are treated to Julio’s uber passionate true love romance with Emilia. There’s seems like an almost perfect relationship; they spend there days walking in the park, drinking bagged liquor, talking about literature, and having great conversations. At night, they read together in bed (Emilia makes a rule that they must read to each other, out loud, every night) and then, more often then not, passionately make love. One day they decide to read all seven volumes of Proust, which if done at the rate of a page per night, would take between 10 and 20 years.

In the present, Julio’s fake job did involve a real interview with the semi-famous writer. Even though he doesn’t get the job, he is told that the book starts with the protagonist learning over the radio that his first love has just died. Julio steals this beginning and works on a novel of his own, with the purpose of fooling Blanca into thinking he has an actual job.

The story takes a strange and sad twist at the end, as Julio experiences loss, crushing depression, and what should be joy (it’s hard to tell as I don’t think he smiled once in the entire film) at the finishing of his novel. Julio and Emilia never do get a chance to finish Proust together, Julio and Blanca end their relationship on very strange terms, and the famous writer is lauded with praise for his new novel.

If you like literature, dialogue, interesting characters, and heartbreak, you should go rent this grossly underestimated film.
