Del M @RT56139617 01/11/2025 This movie should be made again in Spanish, in Chile or Argentina with actors from those countries. It is a beautiful story but English speaking actors speaking with Spanish accents was a disaster. Hope it could be made again in Spanish, it would mad a huge difference!!!!

Antonio Banderas and Jennifer Connelly give good performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Betty Kaplan did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the drama and romance.

He comes off as a real prick in the opening scenes but the story develops in a way that makes their close working relationship turn into a believable love affair with both reacting to a desperate need to cherish life amidst a country full of tragic stories under the domineering thumb of a fascist government. Novelty to see Connelly cast as a Chilean, she's positively gorgeous and her accent is not bad at all, it's the Spanish & South American actors speaking English with heavy accents that can be hard to understand! The stars share a passionate love scene in the mountains outside an abandoned mine, now that would be one hearty good-lookin' baby. See more 05/02/2012 A boring, never ending melodramatic lullaby! See more 03/12/2012 This was an excellent movie and I can't believe it received such a low rating. It led me to do some research on this very dark and violent time in Chile. I would rate it a 5 star.
