Audience Member I was expecting a movie more related to the historic periods it was placed in (Franco's Spain and Cuban Revolution) But I don't think the movie really delivered much in the political-historical sense. I wonder then what is behind the decision to go back in time to set the background of the movie if that particular period has not importance for the plot at all? I liked the cinematography but I think the movie was too slow for a film noir and the acting was not all that good. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Molt bona musica.
