HIGH FIDELITY (Stephen Frears, 2000)

It always has been said to me that there is a kind of rule in the cinema which tells that actors must avoid to look directly to the camera because it makes the story less believable.
However, not every movies follow this rule and, an example of it is this one.

Rob (John Cusakc) is a man who has not had luck in his love life. Meanwhile he continues with his life he tells the story of his past life to the spectator, referring to it all the time. At first, it is quite weird because looking at the camera not always is good, but little by little the movie improves.



Sounds are very important since Rob has a music shop and he is really interested in music. Therefore, the music will be a crucial element. Everything that happens will be connected with a song.
Different love affairs will be presented by Rob in this movie in order to show that, even though he has got the job of his dreams he is not happy at all. Eventually, he will achieve more or less what we consider as happiness, and of course it will no be related with job.
