Though sleekly photogenic in its depiction of cosmopolitan Europeans in permanent romantic neurosis, "The Laws of Thermodynamics" is better in theory than fact.

The final result is a curiosity, sure, but a cute, quick-witted one, with much (maybe too much) on its mind.

Despite its initial promise, Laws fails to take imaginative flight.

Vito Sanz, Vicky Luengo, Irene Escolar and Chino Darín... make up the cast and, yes, the city of Barcelona looks beautiful. [Full review in Spanish]

It is a pity, because starting point and director made high promises. However, although explanation of physics and its relations with some aspects of life could be amazing in a better context, a weak main story and not outstanding actors make a not-so-well-mixed story. As I said, a disappointment.

Mateo Gil tries to do with physics what Alain Resnais did with ethology in "Mon oncle d'Amérique" (1980), but scientific theories are badly amalgamated with the stories of the characters, and the entropy, the disorder, the (non-deterministic) chaos prevail both on the conceptual explanation and on the affective dynamics among the protagonists.
