Some great cinematography, poetic script. Some melodramatic acting, I don't have enough fingers and toes to count how many times distressed characters grabbed their heads in anguish... but worth sitting through. Symbolic and critical of spanish culture of the time and of the Franco regime, definitely worth a watch. The opening and closing scenes are especially cinematic.
The director is Javier Bardem's uncle.
