I haven't seen this one yet... heck, haven't been to the movies in about a year. We will be seeing it soon, I am sure.

I am always glad to see people grow, and I do love his films. In many of them there is something memorable, even if the whole film is not of the true star caliber - this is more than could be said about 90% of today's films.

My familiarity with Spanich cinema drops off fast after Almodovar and Bunuel (whom I place significantly above the young fella)... I know I have seen many others but would not be able to remember them under the spur of the moment. But I am sure I would recognize quite a few if someone listed them.

***I have a feeling that even you will be moved by this film...

That sentence I don't know how to interpret.

Anyway, it is definitely on the short list, together with the - ahem... the Russian Ark - as much as I HATE, HATE, HATE... Sokurov with every cell in mo body - and probably About Schmidt - need to send Hollywood some money after they boohed that idiot at Oscars, as I promised.
