Unfortunately the copy of the DVD that I got from the public library didn’t allow me to see the last 10 minutes. Up to that point I was enjoying this movie which is more of a meditation on…I don’t know what exactly (there are some good reviews at imdb by more articulate reviewers) but I was engrossed in what was unfolding on my 19” monitor (it must be even better in the cinema).

I was enjoying being made to feel uncomfortable as well. Reyogadas has a comment to the effect that he makes movies for people who go to the cinema to experience life not to forget about it. Very slow pace, little dialogue, hints of religious meaning, scenes which will shock you, good choice of music for the soundtrack. I’m glad that people are still making films like this one.
