El Camino de los ingleses Antonio Banderas new film "El Camino de los ingleses" (aka "Summer Rain" outside Spain)is a lot like "Verano Azul" directed by Sam Mendes (The Director of "American Beauty"). And it's actually the best spanish film I've seen since "El Laberinto del Fauno" (aka "Pan's Labyrinth").
I heartily recommend it. Specially if you like poetry. It's worth watching even if it's just for the final sequence where the rain washes away the summer with a melancholic jazz song as backdrop (Antonio Meliveo's excellent soundtrack really does help the movie a lot). Definitely not the sort of thing one usually expects to find in the cinemas in christmas, and in my humble opinion clearly underrated by the critics. Go to see if you have the chance.
