Director: Alejandro Amenábar
Country: Spain
Subtitle: English, Spanish
Euthanasia is not an easy topic for a movie treatment, however Amenábar (Abre Los Ojos, The Others) is able to do it with as much objectivity as one can with an issue so controversial. Javier Bardem also works his usual genius. While the story is based on real life, the romance between Bardem and the women of the story seem a bit exaggerated. However, all is forgiven at the end when we see powerful orchestration between Amenábar and Bardem. I waited a while to see this movie because of the seriousness of the subject matter, but would definitely recommend it.
