Latest film review at Cinema Takes is Camino: children suffering for Opus Dei
Director Javier Fesser’s Spanish film Camino (The Way) evoked anger and pathos in me in equal measures.
The old cliché that we see what we believe seems to apply here.
With its dream world elements this is a fairy tale in many ways. I was sucked into the story despite initial distaste for the subject matter. Its sentimental plot borders on the telenovela with:
* pubescent love
* hospitals with graphic operations
* secrecy and intrigue
* suspense and misunderstandings
* and of course contrived coincidences
There is even confusion over names.
