film be design to affect the audience and this film leave me speechless . gorgeously photograph and well act with dialog that approach poetry the film involve lust and hate and murder and rape and theft and deception . it weave an intense web that leave me unable to take my eye off the screen until the closing credit . the story be sweep . it take the audience from the atrocity of the spanish civil war to the human wreckage leave behind . roger casamajor and bruno bertanzoni be two young actor who command the screen . support player be excellently cast and lend a real sense of authenticity . set and light and scenery and cinematography be wonderful . i absolutely love the photography .
