We are immersed in the gentleness and the harshness of life in an indigenous culture. We see it through the filter of a Latin American story telling tradition, Magical Realism. I thought had perished, been clobbered to death by vulgarity and sentiment. Whether or not you read One Hundred Years of Solitude, or indeed anything else by the Colombian novelist Gabriel Garcia Márquez, this is an extraordinary chance to understand that lyrical, spare, magic that dominates the deserts and the jungles of indigenous peoples in the Americas. Step inside and breathe steadily, from the beginning to the end of this tragic family story . Absolutely beautiful film.
