The Argentinian film "Puzzle"

I recently went to the NZ Film Festival viewing of the Argentinian film "Puzzle". It tells the story of a middle-aged Argentine wife and mother, Maria, who develops an interest in doing large jigsaw puzzles. She finds a like minded jigsaw partner, and secretly spends two afternoons a week doing jigsaws with him, they enter and win a competition. There are all sorts of subplots and th overall metaphor of life being a jigsaw can't be missed.Take a look at this trailer for the film.
If you also saw it, I'd love to hear what you thought. Leave a comment.

  1. Rare and subtl.I saw puzzle last week in women's film festival in Salé (Morocco). The film won's the price of better script. The actress is unforgettable, the plot original.
