A slow but thoroughly enjoyable movie, particularly for those of us who are lucky to understand the original Spanish, since the dialog is the best part of the movie. Full of irony and reflections about what's really important in life. Superb acting by Fernando Rey.
This movie is not for somebody seeking quick action and sound bytes; it's for those who enjoy a slowly developing plot, reaching climax at the end, with good photography, intelligent dialog, superb acting and an irony that keeps a devilish smile on you. Although the end is hard to believe, it keeps you thinking about it (and about life) for quite a while.
