Very beautiful and very violent

Rating: Null/10 (2 May 2007)

It's been a long time since I seen a movie with such beautiful imagery, the cinematography is faultless, amazing to behold.
The fairytale world juxtaposed between Spains Franco era was fascinating from the word go, although some of the violence was almost too extreme (pls realize that comes from a fan of exploitation movies!) but in its context here with such a great dual story it works well and gives the much needed impact overall.
Hope the director keeps making quality movies like this, this is one of the best non-Hollywood movies in years, its certainly not low budget as its very well made, great sound, pics and acting all the ways through.
Highly recommended and deserves all its credit that is bestowed upon it!!
