Iván Masliah
Iván Masliah, honestly, is kinda popping up everywhere in 2024, isn’t he? Let’s talk about “¿Quién quiere casarse con un Astronauta?” first—what a trip. The whole thing’s this wild blend of reality TV drama and way-too-relatable existential panic. Basically, you’ve got a bunch of hopefuls, all with their own hilarious and messy baggage, trying to snag a date with this astronaut who, by the way, is way more awkward than you’d expect. It’s less about the stars and more about the weird stuff people do when there’s a camera in their face. You can tell Masliah’s got a knack for nailing that blend between cringe and charm.
Then there’s “Blue Lights.” Completely different vibe. This one’s got a darker edge—a lot of neon, a lot of late-night city anxiety. Masliah slips into this role where you’re never quite sure if he’s the hero or just another lost soul wandering the streets. The dialogue’s sharp, there’s this sense of restless energy, and honestly? You end up rooting for him even when he’s making all the wrong choices.
Finally, “The Astronaut Lovers.” Not gonna lie, the title sounds cheesy, but the film’s way more nuanced than you’d think. It’s about connection, distance, and all those bittersweet feelings that come with chasing dreams that might be a little out of reach. Masliah brings this raw vulnerability that hits you right in the gut. Strange how he jumps between genres like it’s nothing, but somehow it all works.
