Having had my share of Russian and japanese films on my menu, I don't mind a film being slow, LOL. <br /><br />For an Hispanic person, the fact that the story deals with Pablo Neruda gives it a further factor of endearment (Neruda is one of the finest poets in Spanish language: give a chance to his seminal "Veinte Poemas de Amor y una Canción Desesperada" if you have the chance). The film represents Neruda in exile for being "persona non grata" to a dictatorial Chilean regime.Gloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00895285900033034259noreply@blogger.com
