 Rating:  - watch HBO or CinemaxIf you like this type of movie (and I do)you'll get more excitement from a T&A late show on cable. Rent it and see if you agree.

Surprisingly it never made an impression in theatres there. But this is one of those sleeper movies that should be viewed by everyone who not only enjoys a good story well told, but also those who want to understand Spain in the final days of Franco's rule. There is much to be said about the delicacy in which director Emilio Martinez Lazaro has adapted the novel by Ignacio Martinez di Pison, electing to underplay ... Read More |
