This outwardly realistic conversational drama/gay romance about a chance encounter of two foreigners is gradually “coloured” as a narratively ambitious story about the spiralling passage of time and people condemned to repeat the same mistakes in their relationships. Fin de siglo is a very well-balanced film that works at the “basic” walk-and-talk level thanks to its natural actors, unforced dialogue and consistent style of long, uninterrupted shots in authentic Barcelona locations. It is thought-provoking, compelling and open to various readings. 80%

At first, End of the Century reminded me of Marco Berger's films with its minimalist and mundane style. But when the story gradually began to interweave the different time lines, I was suddenly faced with a somewhat more ambitious narrative project. I liked the premise and the main idea of the film about (un)conscious encounters between two people who are still drawn together across the years – a kind of (in)visible fate – but I had quite a mess at times in the transitions between the timelines. I do, however, commend the nice camera work and the grounded performances. End of the Century is quite possibly a film that needs at least two viewings to fully appreciate its layered plot. Maybe I'll give it another chance in the future and change my rating.
