Too much pantasy?

Rating: 7/10 (9 April 2007)

Let's say it directly. The photo here is absolutely splendid. The rest of the movie is not on the same level.
It's about post civil war Spain. The fascist captain is as square as you could ever imagine and the young heroine as divine as anything you've seen. Surely this works out in a fantasy, but what's the amazing thing about these kind of make-believes? It's once again a severely uncomplicated story about goodness winning over evil, together with some gore. But what's the point? This kind of filmic romanticism has failed in power and although it's clever done here, the subject isn't. This kind of darkness isn't interesting anymore.
