Memorias de lo que no fue (original title)
1h 56m | Drama, Thriller | 31 May 2017 (Mexico)
Storyline:Two young men spend the night together after meeting the previous evening in a notorious gay club. The next day, however, the host wakes to find the boy he picked up bewildered and confused, unable remember his name or anything about his past. Lacking any type of identification or obvious clues, the boys begin to search for the truth among fragments of memories that may or may not prove reliable. A chilling homoerotic thriller, BOY UNDONE is queer guerrilla filmmaking at its most intense.User review:I must have seen the “Mary Whitehouse” version! No unsimulated sex in the film that I saw. Lots of nudity yes, but no actual hanky panky that could be considered porny.The film recounts the gradual recovery of Fernando’s memory after he woke up in a strange flat not knowing how he got there or anything of his life before that. He can’t even remember his name. He and Miguel carry 90% of the film between them and it’a only in the last 10% of the film that other characters speak and have some input. It’s not boring at all; I watched the lot without wanting things to hurry up.The languid pace of the first part of the film is swapped for a shockingly graphic revenge set of scenes when the lads discover why and how Fernando lost his memory. The ending is left open as to whether further action will be taken.This looked like a pretty amateur production in many ways. Some of the shots were not lighted properly and some patches of dialogue were not particularly audible. The subtitles were inaccurate on occasion, laughably so in some lines. Nonetheless, I watched right through, even ignoring a bunch of WhatsApp messages that were coming through to my phone.During this review I put the mark down to a six and then put it up to a seven again. I’d thought that it could have been better with more money thrown at the production. But then I reflected and I was wrong. It’s the very lack of polish that made this an enjoyable experience.
