7/10
A good but slightly unaccomplished film
11 September 2002
This has been one of the rare films I got to watch in the big screen. It conveys all the power and emotion of latin american cinematography and deals with complicated yet simple issues like the existence of God and the need to endure hardships or the inevitable tendency for things to fall into chaos and wether or not is it worthwhile.

The movie is very bitter at points, while at others seems to be stepping out of normality. Throughout the whole thing it is quite weird.

There are some technical problems which make it look somewhat amateurish, at least in my opinion. I also don't think the actors can quite squeeze all the drama out of their characters.

People who don't enjoy gay films should be advised there's some action in that department.

Otherwise, it does raise excellent points and should definetively be seen.
