the girl who fell for the obviously gay boy, I’m her
Following in the footsteps of “Aftersun” and “Blue Heron,” “Six Months in a Pink and Blue Building” doesn’t treat its autobiographical elements as hermetically sealed moments in time. Instead, there’s a winking artificiality to Razo’s approach that leans into the limitedness of his younger fictional self’s childlike perspective. As such, the strain in Mundo and Diana’s relationship is more acutely felt in the documentary elements than in the narrative, as though the present tense breaks the sheen of the past, in which even family tragedy doesn’t appear to fully upset Bruno’s childhood.
