2 Short Reviews Of Famous Movies In Spanish With English Subtitles
Spanish movies have a certain flair about them.
Some might consider them exotic.
Others might label them sexy.
But you just have to look at Spanish actors who have come over to Hollywood to see what I mean.
Think about Salma Hayek, Antonio Banderas and Penelope Cruz.
That said, Spanish directors have also made a name for themselves in the international movie scene.
Among them are Pedro Almodóvar and Alexandro Gonzalez Inarritu.
But good looks and melodic sounding language aside, Spanish movies with English subtitles have a quality about them which I find hard to explain.
But thanks to the DVD format, we can now enjoy movies in Spanish with English subtitles, among other languages available.
Volver Volver is a critically acclaimed Spanish film starring Penelope Cruz.
It becomes evident early in the movie that this part is perfect for Ms Cruz.
The Academy Award nomination she received for her role cements that notion.
Volver's director, Pedro Almodóvar, does a fantastic job as he tackles the subject matter - death - and how different generations of a small town react to it.
He artfully unfolds the intriguing story line which slowly reveals the complicated relationships which bind the characters.
Volver is not a story about the fear of death.
Rather, it is the story of how life goes on after death.
It looks at the burden of unforgiveness the living have to carry once death has closed the door reconciliation.
It also looks at sins and secrets which linger long after the sinner has departed.
The performances by Cruz, the film's cinematography and art direction and careful direction of Almodóvar all make for one of the most entertaining movies in Spanish with English subtitles of 2006.
I would personally give it 5 stars.
Amores Perros What an incredible debut for director Alexandro Gonzalez Inarritu.
His first attempt at direction resulted in Amores Perros becoming an award-winning film and also an Academy award and Golden Globe nominee for best foreign film.
Set in Mexico City, Amores Perros tells three stories of love and complicated relationships in a violent city.
In the heart of these stories, the fate of two dogs hang in the balance as the characters are brought briefly together by a car accident.
Unlike Pulp Fiction, Ameros Perros need not have the individual stories linked by a common event.
I gather Inarritu chose this style to link the theme of the movie Each story could story could have stood alone as each explores the very definition of love from different points of view.
I would also rate this as one of the best Spanish movies with English subtitles around.
5 stars, no less.
