Vientos de agua

Campanella's masterpiece, a great story, which happens to have a lot in common with my father's, who left Asturias in 1925 to avoid the draft and landed in Argentina. My dad also lived in a Jewish neighborhood in Buenos Aires, where I was born later. Just like Andres, he was an Anarchist who became a Peronist, as did most of his union friends. And he was fortunate to return to Asturias before his death. He kept a lot of secrets about his life, something I respect. The life of emigrants is faithfully described in this saga. Interlaced with some of the most relevant events in Spain and Argentina during the twentieth century. Great cast, wonderful music, a must see...

This series is great!!! I love it! it's highly recommended. Don't judge it for its first episode, if you see at least 3 and you don't like thats OK, but don't don't judge for the first one 'cos it kinda boring, but then it gets better and better, and you want to keep watching and you think "why there are only 13 episodeees?!?! Please Campanella!! make more!!!" There is a parallelism of a Spaniard that had to emigrate to Argentina because of the war, and on 2001 his son has to emigrate to Spain because of financial issues, what it is cool about this show is that this two stories are shown simultaneously, the inside stories are very good too. Just Great

What can I say about "Vientos de Agua"? It's simply the most amazing and enjoyable TV series I've ever seen. The selected cast fits very well with the story, which is very interesting and catches you from the very beginning. The art direction and the photography are really awesome. Both creates wonderful atmospheres while the tale goes by. Another interesting point view is the music, that is very powerful and contributes to feel the story. Juan José Campanella deserves my great admiration. I've seen all his previous movies and arrived to a conclusion: he is the only one that can touch my heart with his nice and peculiar way of telling moving tales.

I just don't like the Argentine abuse of the imperative form of verbs, which hurts the ears and disfigures the beautiful Spanish language. It sounds aggressive, annoying, and distracts me. I'm a fan of the screenwriter, director, and producer Juan José Campanella and I'd never noticed this in his films. I really like 'The Secret in Their Eyes,' and 'The Son of the Bride'... Could it be that the bad habit of the imperative is increasing in Argentina? It's a shame, because the country has an excellent filmography. Now, my ears - and my eyes, very much so - are delighting in One Hundred Years of Solitude.

Vientos de Agua talks about emigration, a frequently history on our diary life. Who is not happy to told, but is necessary. It represents the past, present and future of the people.

Emigration is the idea over the history, who talk about relationships (of love, father-son, between different cultures...) about politic (anarchism, totalitarism...), the change of the way of live... Vientos de Agua spokes about life, in all of it sense.

All the actors rise an excellent level, one to one, no exceptions... Well, unless Hector Alterio; he rises more than perfect, his expresions, the look, the movement, he have the humanity in his soul.

Concluding, for me, is the best series i have never seen in my life; because when a history need to be told... it is shown with all the feeling.
