With choreography by Karrera and cinematography by Centeno, what ensues in Heartache is a work in which dance, gesture, and expression—or lack thereof—sync perfectly with every other cinematic element to create an incredibly evocative, non-linear story. Between the music, the cinematography, the editing, the choreography, and everything else, the film suggests irony, absurdity, and ennui with beautiful theatricality and complete dead pan. The mostly unison contemporary choreography with a whiff of Bob Fosse is so brilliant and completely interwoven with the overall location and concept of the film (which apparently referenced the photography of the late Dutch photographer Erwin Olaff) and manages to deliver three distinct characters who are fantastically danced by Andoni Garcia, Marc Lopez, and Alvaro Perez. The film is also interspersed with surprising and beguiling moments which I won’t give away, that fit perfectly and add to the whole feeling which the film so thoroughly embodies.
