I rented this (Along with some other Spanish films) simply because my girlfriend is learning Spamish, so thought it would help with her revision.
We weren't expecting anything special, but we watched it together this afternoon and were both blown away about how good it was.
There are some films that I love because of the cinematography, the editing, acting or special effects, but usually the script.
And this film kept us gripped from about five minutes into it, just because of the sheer excellence of the writing and directing.
To describe the plot would spoil it for you and it's been tried before by members here who I thank because there were no spoilers in their posts.
It left a deep impression on us just because it's an excellent story, well told and acted.
I can understand why it wasn't showered with accolades because of what it's about, but if there was any justice in the world then this should have won an Oscar. It's that good.
Cheers, Will
