Ripstein... movies... excellent!, 31 December 2001
8/10
Author: Erick (erick_castaway@hotmail.com) from Mexico City, Mexico

Ripstein likes to put his characters in difficult situations. Especially when it comes to past events that haunt them in the present. Every Ripstein´s films are full of really claustrophobic places and situations. In this case the main character cannot escape his past nor his nemesis. So, it all becomes claustrophobic in a greek tragedy way. EXCELLENT!!!!
