DVD Reviews of El Coronel No Tiene Quien le Escriba
DVD Review: El Coronel No Tiene Quien le Escriba
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this to be a wonderful movie. I have over 200 Latin movies from all over thw world and enjoyed this story very much. I did not think it was too long or slow paced. I have telenovelas that run almost 40 hours, so this was quick movie for me! I'm having a movie night with friends to watch this again.DVD Review: VERY Slow Paced
Summary: 2 Stars
Notice to all insomniacs: watch this film. You will be cured!!! Seriously, the pace is extremely slow. My wife and I both appreciate slow paced films, especially foreign movies, that gradually reveal sublteties that most other movies do not. While the slow pace of this film produces some rewards, the length of the film (nearly 2 hrs) was not worth the meager rewards of this adaptation of Gabriel-Garcia Marquez's book.
Description of El Coronel No Tiene Quien le Escriba
The Colonel waits. They promised him a pension which for years has remained a promise unfulfilled. Friday after Friday solemn and dressed in his finest suit the Colonel waits by the dock in anticipation of the letter announcing the arrival of his pension. Everyone in the small town knows that he waits in vain. He knows it too. Every Friday his wife watches him at the mirror dressing and preparing to pick up the letter that for years has eluded him. But the Colonel eyes closed to the all too evident truth stands by his dream for if not what else remains for him? There is hunger in the Colonel's house. His wife is a sack of bones consumed by asthma and the Colonel lives ashamed of his poverty with the shame befitting a decent man. As his needs become more prevalent...no one writes to the Colonel.System Requirements: Runnig Time 118 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?LATIN/DRAMA Rating:?NR UPC:?824355503029 Manufacturer No:?MAV-5030General DVDs
