Human Kindness at its best
23 August 2006
I saw this movie yesterday. I got it from Netflix. I knew nothing about it beforehand and was delightfully surprised by it. It is perfect acting and shows such acts of human kindness and tenderness that it should be seen by everyone. I don't know when I have seen such a completely satisfying movie. Don Justo is a dear old soul with the pride of generations long since disappearing. The scenes at the television station are high camp. And of course, one cannot find enough praise for the traveling salesman. All of this and the bleak countryside of Patagonia make this an incredible film. I wish I could see more films like this and in settings far from the madding crowd. One can feel the sympathy which the director feels for his characters.
