Noviembre

This is one of the most surprising films I have ever seen and the acting is just amazing.

The story of the idealistic Spanish street theater group "November" is really touching and a mixture of fiction and documentary.The scenes of street theater in Madrid are wonderful, the actors turn metros and shopping streets into a playground for their acts and I enjoyed the idea of interaction of with the audience.

Furthermore, the message of the film will make you think about the meaning of art: a business, a hobby, a life style... and about the extremely individualistic and materialistic society that the film reflects. Only by watching it you will understand that art is a way of changing this world and that youth is not passive.

I strongly recommend "November" because is that kind of films that helps you to understand yourself and the world. And I like to finish with the last sentence of the film said by one of the actresses: "We wanted to change the world, we failed miserably. Now I just try to not let the world change me"

Just caught this on HBO-Latino. My Spanish is very limited so I couldn't understand that much either. But I don't think it's helpful to say it's "definitely an artsy masturbation job". I would urge readers to pay more attention to the fact that 150 people gave it a vote of 8 out of 10. Even the 1st reviewer gave it an 8. SEE THIS FILM! I thought it was very provocative -- an indie that deserves the name in the best of the tradition. Even if it is pretentious or self-important, or whatever 'artsy masturbation' means, this film goes well outside the dull, predictable, mainstream -- at least in its ambition if not farther. But not in a Warhol kind of way. It had something to say. Perhaps the message was, as Ben Harper sings, "You have to fight, Fight, FIGHT.......for your mind", i.e., fight conformism, fight indoctrination, fight regimentation, fight bourgeois control of the mind space. And enjoy the freedom you obtain thereby.

Just my $0.02

Saw this film in Barcelona without subtitles and with only my somewhat pitiable Spanish skills. It's definitely an artsy masturbation job, but I enjoyed the earnest of the actors and the filmmakers. Part of the new wave of films that use "documentary" and "reality TV" type devices to motivate plto.

I thought I didn't get the fact that the older people were the grown-up younger actors telling their story at first because of my language skills, but I asked several native speakers and they were as bemused.

The street scenes of street theater in Madrid are really the best moments and worth experiencing if not anything else.

The movie shows how far a group of youngsters can push the boundaries of social norms in street performances.

We learn also that we may change of prospectives with time , our ethics and principles are not always firm in the same point. Even though we wish it not to be so.

It's definitely worth watching this movie not just because of the ending, which is quite unexpected. But also for the uniqueness of the story.

The movie brings you back to the years nineties in the streets of Spain, where people is not too conservative. But yet, the actors go far behind the line of societal acceptance for what can be performed in public.

A few times, the group of players reach dangerous points.

First of all I am an actress. All over the world, it is so hard to live out of arts ( if you are not so famous). In today's world, you can be famous if you are on magazines. in old times when there were no television and stuff, to become famous, you had to be very successful on your job. if you were making shoes, and doing it so good, you were getting famous all over the world without media, TV and internet. this means being famous was depending on being the best on your field.

this movie shows the problems of all art work and artists, talking on theatre actors. on IMDb, the movies that includes guns, serial killers gets 8,9 grade but such an important movie is 7,4. this is what the movie tells about actually.
