THE 7 VICES
a film by Gabriel Otero
THE 7 VICES BY GUSTAVO GALUPPO
The 7 vices is a kind of enigmatic fabric, an open weave of paths that intersect and bifurcate to compose and decompose something that always and inevitably runs away. Details, flashes, textures, sounds, layers, music, times, references, quotes, each particle is articulated with the rest within a logic that cannot be determined exactly because it is known to be traversed by mystery and shadow. Although the structure is presented as episodic, there is no strict autonomy in the parts, but each one of them appears as a distant echo of the others, like an anomalous mirror that multiplies its faces in an expansive way. In each detail of the image a trace is drawn, a remnant, a vestige of something ominous that is sensed as greater than each story (each one, a vice). It is about the fall, the disintegration. These are small dreamed anecdotes that step by step make up the fierce nightmare of decadence.
Times and places intertwine in a playful way. If you are in a time and in a place, the next step, suddenly, you can be on the other side of the world and in a distant time. Everything is encrypted, dated, dated, as if such data were the cipher of an enigma to be solved. But the proposed game is cunning in its tenacity. It is not known where the trip takes us or for what. The dates and places typographically indicated on the screen are finally and only a remnant of information from which the dreamlike atmosphere disregards to follow its course of shadows. Although we are spatially and temporally located in each section, the tenacious dream builds another time and another homogeneous and mysterious space, which is nothing but the imminent time of the fall.
The 7 vices is also, in its atmospheric dreamlike fabric, a celebratory game of quotes and references. All cinemas fit into The 7 vices. Also all the books and art forms. There, The 7 vices is a kind of somewhat ethereal monster. A weightless creature. A Frankenstein built with scraps of other dreams. From film noir to mysticism. From the representation of the Orient to the snobbish world of contemporary art. The trip ignores the strict logic of the scales and articulates the distant with a nightmarish fluidity. At times you might think that you are in a Greenaway film, in others in a Lynch film, in others in a Mathew Barney film, in others in a Jodorowski film, in others in the middle of film noir, in others in silence, in others in the sophisticated forms of the contemporary. But none of this works as a simple appointment and tribute, but as a systematic assimilation of the diverse in a new singular form. One is, always and undoubtedly, in the particular universe proposed by The 7 vices.
In this singular articulation of quotes and references, as in the diversity of assimilated cinemas, the constant figure of the cinematographic stereotype of the hypersexualized woman prevails. Fatal women, geishas, dancers, psychopaths: the cliché is evident in its artifice and the disintegration of the world points to the omnipresent masculine gaze that accelerates the fall with its ferocious dream.
If the figure of the narrative structure of The 7 vices is that of the fabric or that of the anomalous map, it is also, as indicated at the end, that of the Borgean labyrinth. And there, so close to the end, in a possible center of this labyrinth, we meet Tomás de Aquino and a girl in front of the sea: "Daughter, I want to tell you a story." The center of the labyrinth is not the exit, and the dream of the fall has no end.
