Like "WALL-E," "Adios, amor" opens with no dialogue, so the first 15+ minutes contain only sound effects and music. Both movies also feature desperately lovesick protagonists. Only "Adios, amor," however, features a trumpet-playing kidnapper and larcenist. (But then again, if WALL-E had found a trumpet . . . )
The movie walks a very fine line between intentional and unintentional humor. There are interesting touches but overall it's too weird to be involving or poignant. As always, though, Saby Kamalich's acting is superb.
