MARTÍN L El maestro John Huston nos dejó como testamento una obra maestra como "Dublineses (los muertos)" basada en la obra de James Joyce. Pocas veces la emoción que uno puede sentir llega a tanto como cuando ves llorar a su hija Anjélica por su amor juvenil malogrado y el doloroso pensamiento en voz alta de su marido que descubre que ella nunca lo amará de la misma manera y, aún peor, que él nunca sintió el amor como lo hizo aquel joven por su mujer. Vedla, emocionaos hasta las lágrimas o hasta el nudo en la garganta. Gracias al maestro Huston y al maestro North, que puso una banda sonora que acompaña a una obra tan sublime. Dios mío, cuánta belleza. "La nieve cae sobre los vivos y sobre los muertos." Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/27/25 Full Review Read all reviews
