A blissful escapade......See what you believe

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2013)

Horror had perhaps never been depicted before with such artistic finesse and melancholic grace , for no more does it stir the primordial instincts of fear but in turn etches the mind with a lingering soprano of solitude and echoes of a bitter-sweet longing to believe.....for "you see what you believe"......the film surpasses the boundaries of genre and the technicalities of form ,as it gradually blends soul and art building a crescendo, an eclectic symphony of love and faith.....one which transcends the torment of time...and then even the deepest scars, profound pangs of pain and abandonment become sheer poetry........
This is perhaps the seventh time I have been astonished by El Orfanato. Belen's performance leaves me speechless through her immense mastery over her craft, acting transcends into realism, story into life and her emotions touch you almost tangibly. On the other hand , subtlety of cinematography,simplicity of storyline but a magically intense message have always been Torro's forte.
In short, I highly recommend this movie highly..........
