The Dark Side of the Heart (Spanish: El lado oscuro del corazón) is a 1992 surrealist romantic drama movie.
It follows the story of a poet who is on an extreme search for such a perfectly accurate woman-"a woman who can fly, and if she cannot fly, she is wasting her time with him".
Like when he finds out that the woman isn't perfect and she lacks what he desired, then she's very rudely rejected by him through a trap door designed beside his bed.
It was an Argentine Spanish-language film, and it was written and directed by Eliseo Subiela.
Oliver is a young and handsome poet who lives in Argentina.
He's always lost in the vivid world of his poetry, or as we can also say, creative poetic writing and imaginative thoughts.
He dislikes working for an office, so to live off of it he has to sell and share his thoughts, ideas, and also poetry, so that's his way of earning some pennies to survive.
Apart from his visionary world of poetry, Oliver is also busy seeking a perfect, flawless woman-a woman who can fulfil his life with extraordinary passion and magical lust, although it all seems like an idle fancy.
So in search of such an ideal woman, he gets physical with several women and those women who don't fit into his imaginary sensual world, are very rudely rejected by him by just pushing one button in his bed and making the woman fall into the trap wickedly designed in his bed.
Once, Oliver meets a blind woman who can only sense things and perceive the physical world by the power of touch, and she's the one and only person whom Oliver doesn't reject through his bed trap door.
Oliver's life changes when he meets a prostitute named Anna, and he immediately falls for her. Anna also fits into his idealised world of perfect women.
He demands a life with Anna, but this time Anna thoroughly rejects him. She's more practical than theoretical or an imaginary daydreamer like Oliver.
Basically, we can summarise the entire movie as a surrealist film, like it resembles a dream or a fantasy world coming from an extremely enthusiastic person.
However, Oliver is unable to turn down one significant woman in his life, named Death, who's quietly as mysterious as a ghost.
Night and day, she's dressed in black, obviously the colour of death, and always holding a copy of the classified ads just to assist Oliverio in hunting for a job which he definitely hates.
