Summary: Uneven but interesting
Comment: This movie has a great soundtrack, and follows an interesting progression from the Spain of the 1960s to the present. There are a number of scenes in which historical figures or events form an inconsequential backdrop to the storyline. The movie is supposed to be a decades-long love story between two people from very different backgrounds that never end up together, but at times it seems more like the story of an ambitious and not-too-likable woman. This is born out in the ending which portrays more of her ambition rather than a romantically satisfying conclusion. There is also an odd transition from younger actors to older actors that do a good job but don't necessarily seem like they look quite right as older versions of the same people. If you are interested in a Penelope Cruz movie, there are better choices. She appears as the younger version of the main character for less than half of the film and isn't very likable.

Summary: Love can
Comment: Two young people meet in the 60's as a result of their devotion to John Lennon, and have a recurring relationship during the next thirty years at the oddest of moments, in the most diverse places, and during very important moments that defined several decades. Pay attention as one couple of younger actors alternate with the other couple of older actors to recreate this 30 year span in this Spanish-French comedy. Written by Gonz30

Summary: Pleasant enough.
Comment: This film is a romanitic comedy about a couple whose relationship consists of a sequence of chance and planned encounters beginning in the sixties. It is a conventional tale, well executed. The passage of time requires two sets of actors, both well chosen. The music and settings quite nice. There are a few silly scenes, but overall it is a good movie for a quiet evening.
Only complaint - the production seems to be made for Spanish television. The picture quality is not great, and the subtitles are small, white, and often unreadable.

Summary: A Film that Touches Upon Life With Wit and Picardia
Comment: I enjoyed this film over the holidays. It stars an the Spanish actress Penelope Cruz who manages to steal my breath away with her refreshing non-hollywoodish beauty. In the beginning, there was the Beatles and there is scene where she almost touches them- a real image of the beatles is used (i'm assuming from the 1965 era)...she steals into John Lennon's suite and plans to give herself to him but ends up hiding under a bed with the bellboy who she will casually encounter over the rest of her life; even as she loses that refreshing charm to become increasingly borgoueis and very much likea hollywood has been...the film captures the change and then returns to that refreshing beauty once more for a brief surprise towards the end...the film is charming, ful of wit and picardia; and should provide refreshing viewing from those tired of thetypical blockbuster rental...
