Now this was great. At times it felt like a pron movie and there really was no need to be so graphic but the story was great, the actors really convincing. And it was interestign to watch how all the lives became intertwined. I'd definately reccomend it.
The film had me hooked from the beginning and was quite hard work at times trying to figure out exactly what was going on, but really worth the effort. Despite its complexity the film conveyed a great sense of space, due in part perhaps to its sparse use of dialogue, but also to its location and skillful cinematography. This gave ample time for reflection and for the imagination to get to work on digesting the action.
All the principle actors were outstanding, but particularly Paz Vega whose face conveyed emotion and expression in extraordinarily subtle ways. And what a part she had, possibly the most lovable and adorable role in the whole of cinema. Highly recommended especially if you are interested in continental cinema.
Another moody tale that is well acted. Why are all spanish actresses so moody? I digress - the story is interesting but the end a bit of an anti climax
