5.0 out of 5 stars
A genuine masterpiece!,
By Hiram Gomez Pardo (Valencia, Venezuela) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: El Abuelo (The Grandfather) [NTSC/REGION 1 & 4 DVD. Import-Latin America] (DVD)
Based on a Benito Perez Galdos' play, El abuelo (The grandfather) deals about the return to Spain of the Count Arbeit (Fernando Fernan Gomez in one of his most arresting performances of his succesful career)from USA trying to find a place into the great promise of the Big Dream without achieving less than nothing. He returnms to the village where his only family resides: his daughter in law and his lovable two grand daughters.
But there are powerful secrets that involve this family, concerning with the lost honor, the unfaithfulness and additionally the dramatic confrontations with the people of this village. Servility, envy, hypocrisy and the double moral are some of the showy virtues that label this community. A true wall of ingratitude and resentments that will maintain, nurture and accent still more the notable discrepancies. Arresting images, sumptuous photography and the superb performances of Fernando Fernan Gomez and Agustin Gonzalez make of this film a true revelation finding and undoubtedly one of the films of the Nineties. A true filmic gem! |
