I will be rewatching this, one of my all time favourite films, in honour of Baena in the wake of his passing. A really special film. a tough watch at the best of times, and extra sad now.
A Spanish movie about a girl who's diagnosed with cancer. It's a critique directed at Opus Dei. Very sad. The girl and her on-screen parents are amazing in it. You know someone was good when you hate them after the movie ended.
probably the best portrait of grief i've ever seen. never felt such empathy for someone going through and doing some of the most fucked up shit of all time. watch if you enjoy supernatural high-stakes romance/insane-o family dramas.
I am by no means traditionally religious, but I fully understand how being in the presence of beautiful stained glass can feel like being with god. ALWAYS stop off at a church on the way if you think it might have good stained glass. The bluebells in the bottom right corner of this made me loose my breath for a moment.
