We are so used to seeing the world besmirched and we are so used to hearing about the big bad corporations exploiting the innocents in third world countries, and now at last here is a movie which tells us about simple people, simply living in the context of the corporations and being philosophical about their power, and in the meantime getting on with their own lives and making them happy and fulfilled. This delightful movie shows us that where natural processes are exploited without love and for no other purpose than to build egos and to make money, it does not work - everything becomes dysfunctional. But when things are left to unfold naturally in their own time, everything works beautifully, and there is much joy and laughter - and hope for the now and for the future. Against the backdrop of windswept empty plains, Villegas passes through it all with kind eyes and a beatific smile - and El Perro is a total joy, the key to opening up the magic. Should be required viewing as a sane antidote to all the madness today.
