Bored and without much to do, I picked this movie just because I was able to recognize a name: Penelope Cruz. She has already won the Oscar in the past but so far and until this very movie, I was not impressed by her body of work. What a surprise! In all possible ways! I did not know much what this movie was going to be about, other than tragic and somewhat current. The filmography, the songs’ selection, the time shifting of the scenes to slowly cook the plot, the political situation giving frame to the story, and the eloquent performances of all actors conjured in this Italian production to convey a well written script with an unexpected end. As for Penelope, she delivers with every look, every word, every movement of her body. Don’t miss out this film!
