This movie, aside from having great actors and an interesting plot that could apply to how and why all wars begin, is a feast for the eyes.
Beautifully shot! This film is an ode to late XIX and early XX century film and architecture. It lovingly gives a nod to Antoni Gaudi's invaluable contribution to the city of Barcelona; to the fathers of cinema: the Lumière brothers (see Dance Serpentine,1899 on YT); and to film pioneer Georges Méliès (see Le Voyage Dans la Lune, 1902 also on YT).
Carefully written. Never dull. This film respectfully and intelligently does not portray absolute good or bad / black or white characters, while it leads the viewer to care for, or detest said characters. It has a great supporting cast, especially Tisico, who much to my surprise ended up being portrayed by the chameleonic Ernesto Alterio, who has played the leading man in many comedic roles, and the role of Salvador Osuna Nava in Narcos: Mexico.
This film has it all. What else could one ask of a movie? I highly recommend it!
