Great Work Of Art!

Rating: 10/10 (24 September 2010)

Great works of art are made with great love and care. They take something out of the souls of their creators. So give them your complete love and attention for the short time that you will experience them, and more often than not, they will remain with you for a long time, filling your moments with the fragrance of their beauty and magic. This is my advice to all those who crave fast-paced entertainment these days. This is a beautiful film. Perfect in many ways, from the cinematic technique to the performances. The subject matter and the themes of love and revenge will the haunt the discerning viewer for a long time after the film is over. It is a thought provoking film, but one that does so through the emotive senses, I felt. It is difficult to describe the scene towards the end where Godino's character requests to be spoken to by his own jailer. A great cinematic moment. The simplicity of the moment. A lonely old man wanting be spoken to by a companion in his last days, and yet the significance of his request in the context of all that has happened before.
