What kind of person can rate this movie so low?
I assume it takes a moronic but arrogant individual with no knowledge of Spanish (and no desire to learn it) who thinks that non-english languade films do not deserve to be produced, and who can't tell the difference between a Tom and Jerry cartoon and a work-of-art movie like this one. Seriously, what's with the rating? I personally gave it a 9, though I think I may feel the atmosphere of the film better than an average viewer since I am fluent in Spanish and lived in Argentina for two and a half years and visited Tigre where the movie was filmed. It is quite a special place, where people live on small islands, going about in boats. I think it was deliberately chosen as a set for the movie because it shows the isolation of the inhabitants from each other and from the outside world, communicating the idea that every person is essentially alone (isolated) and can not escape himself...
