So last night I was having trouble sleeping so I decided just to channel surf, and caught this on one of the Starz channels. Have to say it was pretty good. It also didn't hurt that the lead actress in the film, Leonor Varela, was fine as hell. Some of the scenes in the movie make your eyes pop out of your head they are so sexy. Sometimes I wish I had enough money to go to a country like Spain and backpack through the country side. Just enjoy life.

Pro's and Con's of the Film

Pro's:

Good storyline, even character depth to some extent.
Leonor Varela
Leonor Varela nude
The storyline revolving around Ernest Hemingway.
Great shots of some of the areas of Spain.

Con's

Dennis Hopper, I'm guessing he was suppose to be the philosophical character of the film that has realized what he wants in life, and tries to guide McKinley in his decision in a sense. But he honestly just came off as a side show, seeing how he was often drunk, and on drugs apparently.
The two friends, no back story to either of them. All is shown is one isa druggy, and the other was, well I don't know.
The ending, I would have liked a more solid one.

But a good film overall.

It is a nice review. Perhaps just a short synopsis for those of us who have never heard of the film? Your review has left me unsure if I should expect a Requiem for a Dream, or something more like Motorcycle Diaries.
