This is definitely one of the most outstanding films I have ever seen. This film deserved to win a million Oscars. The cinematography was divine. The score was amazing. The dialogue was mesmerizing. I couldn't believe how well it was done. The whole time I felt like I was being drawn into the screen. Alejandro Amenábar is a fantastic director and Javier Bardem's acting couldn't have been better either. I can't imagine the difficulty in playing the role of a paralyzed man but he pulled it off. Bardem managed to convey emotion with his head face and neck in a way that seemed natural. I don't know how he will ever top this performance, but I'm sure he will. He's got many years of acting ahead of him.
My Rating: 5/5
