Based on a work of Josep Maria Benet i Jornet entitled "Testament", the film tells the story of an aging professor of medieval literature with the dilemma of deciding who will inherit his essay on "The Book of friend and loved" by Ramon Llull. Feeling near death as a result of illness, he discovers that the ideal person is a young and intelligent student he is in love with and who is dedicated to male prostitution.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
The New York Times by A.O. Scott
Like its title, it's a clumsy contraption.
More exciting and truthful than most better-looking films dare to be.
A talky, pretentious soap opera about Spanish intellectuals.
An unintentional parody of the kind of overwrought melodrama Pedro Almodovar once reworked to far better effect.
As dark forces threaten, a king reignites a broken fellowship and a quest is undergone.
Are you watching closely?
In Boston, an undercover cop gains a gangland chief's trust, while a career criminal infiltrates the police force for the mob.
Sisters and spirits come together in this magical tale.
Once upon a time in Nazi occupied France...
