First of all, if you are Chilean and you don't know Hernan Miranda Casanova, go read. And if you do know him, and you know his weight and importance in the Hispanic and Chilean literature, then you know what a jewel this movie is. This is the only movie where you will ever see the great poet Hernan Miranda acting; and it is directed by one of the most "under" directors of Chile. Obviously, this doesn't mean it is a great film, but it is! Its photography, long takes, real time rhythm and dialogue are the clear reflection of the influence of the Swedish director, Ingmar Bergman. If you like his films then you will like this one. In any case, the movie's originality is palpable through his poetry, always present in Antonio's films. Also, if you like intelligent,philosophical and serious-minded cinema, then this one is for you.
