Day 48 - 2/17/09 Movie #47
BEFORE: I'm going to be working at a party for Laika's film "Coraline" on Thursday, so in preparation my boss is taking me to see the film tomorrow. As sort of a precursor, I'll watch this similar (?) film tonight.
THE PLOT: In the fascist Spain of 1944, the bookish young stepdaughter of a sadistic army officer escapes into an eerie but captivating fantasy world.
AFTER: Well, that was depressing. Lots of war, death, torture - not exactly a "feel-good" film. The fantasy sequences were visually stunning, sure, but I didn't see how they fit in with, or paralleled, the live-action story. I didn't see what this movie got so much hype for.
RATING: 4 out of 10 grapes
