9/10
A fine piece of art
27 July 2008
Again Bunuel delivers a grand movie, that is top notch, from beginning to the end. While exploring more human faults, as in his other movies I have watched at the Berlin Film Festival, he digs deep inside the homo sapiens and shows us our flaws, while the characters don't really understand that they're acting irrational. And even if they do try to swerve from this "circle", it seems inevitable that they fall back into it.

Great acting and a great story get mixed together with a nice framing by Bunuel, who understands how he can use the medium film, to portray human stories, that do touch us (as in this case). Some might feel, that the pacing could've been a bit faster, but I do think that it is better this way. Slow but steady into ... Watch it and you won't be disappointed!
