02/28/2019 Great love story with Santria. The protagonist promises never to have sex if she gets the role :Giselle See more 12/25/2010 Simbolismo extremo. Cae en un surrealismo forzado y muy obvio. See more 06/24/2010 LETTERBOX. Sí y no. Tiene cosas muy valiosas, pero se excede en prácticamente todo, sobre todo en su espiritualidad y humanismo superficiales. / Yes and no. Has many worthy things, but is excessive in practically everything, especially its hollow spirituality and humanism. See more 12/28/2006 (** 1/2): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon13.gif[/img] Interesting Cuban art film that doesn't quite get my recommendation. The color and music of the film is vibrant but its style can only take it so far. The acting is okay but the film utilizies the breaking of the 4th dimension too much and becomes unfocused and distracting. See more Read all reviews
