Remember Captain Vidal could not hear the screaming mandrake and neither could be seen the Faun. Anyway, I love film, visually incredible, spellbindingly written and wonderfully acted - the ending is heartbreaking because we are so engrossed in a spectacular story.Myerlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00772428029534463716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-55419330044083724692012-03-25T13:20:44.748-04:002012-03-25T13:20:44.748-04:00@Sati. - Thanks.@Sati. - Thanks.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-15594457133370604202012-03-24T16:04:06.079-04:002012-03-24T16:04:06.079-04:00Great review!

I really loved the visual side of the movie and the acting, but the story was a bit messy for me, I did love the strong ending, though.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-48152799922082220242012-03-24T14:53:05.322-04:002012-03-24T14:53:05.322-04:00@Dave Enkosky - Thanks.

As much as I like this film, <i>The Devil's Backbone</i> is my favorite of his work. If you like this film, you'll like that one as well--the stories are very similar in many ways. Substitute a boy for the girl and a ghost for the faun, and you're halfway there.<br /><br />Oh, and real. I say real, and my reason for saying that is the closing shot.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-19168060094868232222012-03-23T22:11:21.582-04:002012-03-23T22:11:21.582-04:00Great review.

I'm definitely doing an Auteurs profile on him next month as I really think he's got an imagination that is truly unique. He isn't just this great technical filmmaker who knows how to use visual effects but also back it up with stories that you can get into.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
