I was expecting a suspense film about Spain, the inquisition and serial murders. At first I saw the landscapes and thought, this could be Galicia or the Basque country perhaps. No references to Spanish culture or language, no mystery, no dialogue, no folklore, no humour. What is the difference between heresy and practicing religions other than Christianity? What is the place of witchcraft in Europe and Spain in those years? What about converted Muslims? If you are interested on a mystery film about the inquisition I recommend "The name of the Rose" with Sean Connery based on the novel by Umberto Eco. If you are interested in Spain in those years see "Juana la Loca".
