Postcards Over the Skin is an intimate and erotic drama by writer/director Pablo Oliverio that pays homage to the late gay Argentine author Manuel Puig. Shot almost entirely in arty and gritty black-and-white, the film has Carlitos (Railan Da Silva), a young Brazilian guy, meeting his older Uruguayan lover Carlos (Jorge De Vitta) for an extended tryst in a Buenos Aires hotel room. This romance features many tender, playful, and sexy moments, from the opening scene of Carlitos in bed, to a collage of images of the couple at the film’s end. Oliverio and the actors deftly capture the lovers’ palpable sense of desire in this striking low-budget film. -Gary Kramer, Philadelphia Gay News
