What can I say? Michael Nyqvist is a genius in front of the camera and Kate del Castillo will just blow you away. This film is advertised as a love story based on a period of time in the life of the Swedish Ambassador to Chile, Harald Edelstam. I don't know enough about Chile's history (1973), or Edelstam, to comment on the historical accuracy of the film, but the two main characters (Nyqvist and del Castillo), will keep you glued to the screen anyway with their intensely realistic portrayals of two people caught up in war. They risk their lives and those of family members in an effort to protect refugees, and to do what they believe is right and just. The love story really is secondary to everything else they experience and survive. No matter what angle you view this film from, you will most definitely be touched by all you see and hear. Overall a really excellent film.
