Bille August

Bille August (born November 9, 1948) is a Danish film and television director. Most of his projects have been in co-operation with Swedish production and with a mainly Swedish cast. He was partially educated in Sweden and also married to Swedish actress Pernilla August from 1991 to 1997. His film Pelle the Conqueror from 1987 won both the Palme D’or, Academy Award and Golden Globe. He is one of the very few directors to win the Palme D’or twice, winning the prestigious award again in 1991 for The Best Intentions, based on the autobiographical script by Ingmar Bergman. He later went to Hollywood, directing several films, but so far none have been as successful as his early work. —Wikipedia

Jeremy Irons is perfect in this the first time I ever liked him in a film. Now the film should have been adapted into a limited series for tv 4-6 hours and half the cast should of been replaced.

always the comparison with books... funny... - every reader has his own imagination..! a great dramatic/politic movie in the time of the workers movement in Chile, including a touch of love..! i really don't like love-movies, but this one has more ambition about the situation than love - so it was very great & i really like it..!

Is this as good as the book? Can you feel Isabel Allende's tone and voice in this?
