This film has great performances by the best Mexican movie actors, an amazing cinematography work by Guillermo Granillo, and an excellent art work. Unfortunatley the film isn´t as good as it should be...it has a great story, a good director, but the continous film references to Buñuel´s and other Ripstein´s films are really annoying, and affect the progress of the story. The last 10 minutes are the worst of the film, it just finishes and the audience can´t understand what happened...you get angry at being there for more than one and a half hours watching this film, and at the end you never understand what happened with all the characters. It´s a shame that Ripstein failed filming this great idea
