As the other reviewers have mentioned, this is an exquisite magical fairy tale of a film made in Mexico in the 1960's. The cinematography is gorgeous and innovative. The tone of the film is haunting and quiet--lovely shots of nature, water, and landscape throughout. Some of the editing is excitingly experimental--featuring occasional montages that remind one of early soviet cinema. But mostly it is a delicate and fascinating tale of a child and an old man who share a passion for music. This dream-like film will insert itself into your subconscious and perhaps become a latent source of creative inspiration for you! The first time I saw this film- -I wandered into the theater knowing nothing about it--it was playing as part of a "Day of the Dead" festival in San Francisco and it put a spell on me. It would be great to see the film re- released on DVD. I was able to get a VHS copy from Turner Classics--don't know if those are still available? If you can find it--I hope you love it!
