It is an essentially happy film in its own right. it is ‘Thriller‘Psychological, but also cool drama. This is a French production, but Spanish (and more Spanish). It is a film of revenge, but also of hope. It is a difficult rural tragedy from deep Spain, but without sacrificing the enlightened voice of what is appropriate, what is desirable, what is right, what is enlightened. All that is not there is a rustic elegy. If you will, its both adrenaline sorogoyan ‘God forgive us‘As grave and deep’madre, It is a coming-of-age film, which concludes a journey in its own way. He is pure Heraclitus. Maybe that’s why he’s in Cannes.
