Aned M This is a movie, not a documentary, which seems to be the primary criticism. And as a movie, it does a fine job (keep in mind that it is still a work of fiction and tries to fill in the blanks for what is not known) for those who are enamored by Lorca and his writing. A must see for students of literature. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/16/24 Full Review Audience Member I fell in love with Frederico's poems in college, the movie brings everything together. Its an amazing movie. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Frances H Well-intentioned and sincere in its adoration of Lorca, but this film's script is not very tightly woven and Andy Garcia as Lorca was a rather poor choice--he just doesn't come across as a poetic soul. Nice twist ending, though. With all its faults, still worth a watch. It does show the anti-intectualism of totalitarian governments.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I have loved this film since I first saw it ten years ago. At that time it was a hint to me that Andy Garcia was developing into a serious actor with a serious artistic vision. So for the record, let me point out that Garcia has since done a trio of biographical films, all representing the artist in conflict with society. They are: 1) The Disappearance of Garcia Lorca (1998); 2) For Love or Country: The Arturo Sandoval Story (2001); and 3) Modigliani (2004). These works, all biographies of ethnic heavyweights, told of the turbulent lives of a Spanish poet/playwright, a Cuban jazz musician and a Spanish painter. All were terrific and although I recommend all three, this one is my favorite. Each of these titles is available through the Great Red Envelope whose name cannot be spoken.
