VENIMOS LOS JODIMOS Y NOS FUIMOS

30Oct10

Seguramente, la peor pelicula en la carrera de un cineasta tan notable como el director hungaro Istvan Szabo. Larga como la cuaresma, academica y pretenciosa, esta cinta no se salva ni por la presencia titular de un buen actor como Ralph Fiennes, ni la de un notable reparto secundario y ni siquiera por los ostentosos valores de producción. Es dificil de creer que el director sea el mismo de Coronel Redl ó Dulce Emma.
