I know that I loved it. I have been replaying it on my head over and over since I walked out of the theater. This film was able, like only few films can, to completely draw me into its story.
Javier Bardem was incredible. He is definitely one of the best actors out there. He metamorphoses from a character to another with a commitment that is rarely found. Like my mother said after having seen him in Mar Adentro, he is a "monster," the most flattering expression she could find to put into words this man's ability of transformation.
There is a lot to talk about this film: the acting, the themes it explores, the innovative techniques, among other things.
It was amazing the way that they used sound in this film. The biping, ultrasonic sound that acutes itself as the tension in the scene is raised to higher levels makes you connect not only in a mental level but also in a physical one. You feel the pain and disconfort in this kind of scenes, specially when Bardem is connecting with the spirits that cannot find their way over. As Bardem, we grow unconfortable and hope for it to be done soon.
