With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- One for people who like their stories at full throttle and anyone interested in what war does to ordinary people. Leaves you with something to think about. Same wavelength as Beast.
- The mood
- Intense.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 28 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1967: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
While waiting for a train which will take them on their honeymoon, two newlyweds, Juan and Lázara, are separated by a federal army commander who is going around enlisting men to fight against the revolutionaries. Traveling with the troops, Lázara follows Juan until he dies in a battle against the Villistas. From that moment on, the young woman's fate will be in the hands of whoever happens to win the latest contest, an uncertain fate for someone whose only wish is for a home of her own.
