06/20/2020 una pelicula que no me gusto,no le encontre sentido 5/10 See more 05/18/2016 Too meandering to make me care, and the Spanish dubbing was extremely distracting. Why on earth wasn't it screened in its original language?! (viewing at a film festival in Singapore) See more 01/14/2016 so well made and leaves Hollywood far in junkyard. Natural performance with such a touching and beatiful story elegantly told See more 01/14/2016 For most people, flowers represent bliss and melancholy. This film touches those stems of human existence. The three women are connected through flowers. Each are brought together through flowers. How frail a life when it ends. Yet, while we live, as fresh flowers enrich a day so shall we enrich each other. I highly recommend this film in a language I never heard before. The difference in culture just makes the very deeply human feelings all the more real. See more 10/29/2015 Writer/director team Jose Mari Goenaga and Jon Garano economically convey mood and character dynamics with the barest of gestures and facial expressions. The elliptic storytelling extends to the camerawork, often we watch characters from skewed angles or see half a face obscured by shadows. At first the muted tone and the dour characters may have you thinking you're in for a bit of an exercise in fortitude, but slowly you are drawn in. The disconnect between the characters in fact connects the audience to them. This is such an engrossing rumination on the complexities of human relationships and how people live with loss. It's also another fine example of how European cinema offers such rich roles for women over a certain age. This is the Spanish entry to the Best Foreign Language Film race at the Oscars this year. The emotional impact sort of sneaks up on you and moves you in a rather surprising way. It is a quite excellent film that's worth keeping an eye out for. See more 03/28/2015 Silent, sad, deep, sincere. A film that can talk about life and death under the spiritual angle and also wicked. The wise old woman of the film speaks: death only exists when someone fails to remember the people. But how to remember someone who died if we can barely remember who exist? Life happens and passes before our eyes. A simple gesture like sending flowers can completely change the way we see life. Beautiful film! See more Read all reviews
