unfortunately rather overlook a this film come out the same year a almodóvar todo sobre mi madre which go on to reach fame and glory . however and if you like almodóvar excellent drama you will also like solas . the two film have certain similarity inasmuch that also in solas the accent be very much on strong characterisation and profound human feeling and though perhaps a little less intense here than in almodóvar film . ana fernández be magnificent and play just right the rather confused and unlucky thirty five year old young woman a bit give to alcohol and not overplay her part while maría galiana a her mother show even at her age that she have come from good theatre and a no less do carlos álvarez novoa a the lonely neighbour . benito zembrano a almodóvar and not only direct his film but be also responsible for the script and which be truly magnificent and especially take into account certain andalucian style of speech . the andalucian accent may at time cause a bit of a problem if you know spanish a fair amount and watch this film without any subtitle . try it and anyway represent it be well worth the effort . an excellent piece of drama which certainly deserve more recognition than it have get . curiously both film end with a remarkably similar dedication at the end represent a mi madre while a todas la madres to my mother while to all mother .
