Featured reviews
When I first saw this movie I thought It was really the perfect movie. I liked every thing of it, and in fact, it is still one of my favourites movies. Not only cinematography or music, but also actors and almost everything is wonderful. Somepeople may thing this is a boring picture, but I think it's been made with a lot of sensibility and madurity. In my opinion, watching "You're the one" is like looking at a nice picture of a good painter such as Velázquez, Goya or Van Gohg.
I saw this film at the Portland international festival and I loved it (others did too -- it was selected for the final day's encore screenings). Very touching with wonderful performances, and it looks amazing. It was shot in black and white, and the exteriors in the Spanish countryside are gorgeous. The cinematographer won a Silver Bear for individual achievement at Berlin for his work on this film.
This movie has been elected by the Spanish Academy of Cinematography to represent Spain at the Oscar's. In fact, I think it has a lot of possibilities to win. It's one of the best pictures I've seen lately. An elegant and delicate direction, warm and sentimental dialogues, superb performances by all the entire cast... make this film remain in your memory (and in a special place of the heart) once you've seen it. The way it touched me is simply magic.
A movie in black and white about a very simple story, about the sadness of losing a person you love with that kind of love that should be forbidden. A movie about movies, about impossible love, about fanatism, about life. A story from those times, "una historia de entonces", with a talented director at his best. Another kind of cinema, the kind of cinema only a few chosen people can do.
The writer/director of last years foreign film Oscar nominated THE GRANDFATHER, has done it again. Brilliant characters, marvelously acted, filled with the kind of humanity and insight so rarely seen in the cinema today. Lydia Bosch, and the music deserve special mention. This film will no doubt be nominated for this years Oscars in the foreign film category.
