LaArdilla roja (aka The Red Squirrel ) From Julio Medem
Jota is about to commit suicide. As he fighting against himself, trying to jump off a bridge, a girl riding a motorcycle falls off the bridge. He runs to help her, and goes with her to the hospital. She has forgotten even what her name is, and he invents her life. He makes up a name for her and tells her and the doctors that they live together as a couple for four years
Third movie I watch from Julio Medem and also my favorite. A very interesting piece Kind of a comedie/drama/romance with a thriller vibe. Good music, very good camera work, excellent acting and an intriguing story which will make you wonder all along! On top of that it has also a weird touch and some sureal moments with some dream scenes... (with no doubt the Medem touch!). I'm convinced!

Sorry, I was very busy and I havenīt watched the movie before:
I think that the epilogue is innecesary, I would have prefered that we would have thought that we would have want, because the game between the reality and fiction is constant. Also, the film is very strange, itīs not clearly-defined to comedy or drama and for that, the changes to differents genres are very abrupt and sometimes hilarious(for example
Spoiler:
when the husband of Sofía appear
)
PD: I donīt know if I explain well...

So did you like it overall? Yes I agree it is a strange movie! I actually really enjoyed the mix of genre, you never know where it will take you

Yes, I like it. Other recommendation, maybe Caótica Ana?

Well I didn't really like Caotica Ana, that's the only one so far from medem which I didn't like too much The style is nice but the story sometimes really doesn't make any sense I made a review Here But you may like it, difficult to say Tierra is quite good!
