How to throw a good story and good acting to the rubbish bin.

Technically a very viewable film "Under a Spell" is the case of what a terrible screenplay can do to an excellent story, notable actors and lovely setting. As an adaptation it reminded me of those online translation services that literally show you the meaning of every word you give them...although the translation doesn't make much sense.

I would suggest Carlos Carrera to stick to direction and leave script writing to professionals.

The longest 130 minutes of my life.

Real, sad and beautiful

Words and lines, pieces of lives and a marvelous collection of moments... this movie like very few I have seen, is actually able to touch you. It feels like a nice long history, like a moving book, which fills the screen and shows the born of an era, the mixture of what once was, what was then and what one day will be... in a way that is perfectly universal and painfully true; a little town in the south of Mexico, a little story, a few lies, a few truths. A great movie!

Stylized tragedy

This is a most strange sensual Mexican story, where the main aspect seems to be its art direction. This does not mean that the story of a man whose little war against political corruption, ethnic traditions and sexual urges, has been stylized to the point of becoming an obstruction to its appreciation. On the contrary, because it is a story dealing with surfaces and sensuality, the external look is such a deliberate aspect that the art direction is perhaps the key element to tell the story, thanks to the way décors, color and props transmit the feeling of privation, exploitation and misery in rural Mexico. Very good performance by Blanca Guerra, as usual.

Beautiful...

I saw this movie at the Lincoln Center in New York 2 days ago in one of those weird film festivals and I say weird because sometimes people remember only bad things of Latin America and forget the wonderful ones about us. This is one good-looking movie. The photography is breathtaking and the actors performances are wonderful. Especially good is the actress that interprets the role of Felipa, the teacher who falls for a sailor but finds solace in the arms of a 13 years old. Although the story slows a lot when the characters grow older, the story is flawless, full of passion and magic. Don't miss it!

the way of life on yucatan by mid 20 century

a good story, about a kid who is enchanted by a little girl to have his love for her. The director really shows up, the way of life on Yucatan Mexico, by the middle of the 20 century, with a language and costumes of that part of mexico. I really enjoy that movie

Curiosidades
For Blanca Guerra, her character, Felipa the teacher, is one of the most interesting she's portrayed in her film career. It's about a woman who has to experience a secret passion for a boy and the script included a brief sex scene between her and thirteen-year-old Daniel Acuña. "Before I knew who was going to play the boy," the actress said, "I thought that, as soon as I saw him, I would feel an overwhelming passion that would accentuate all my eroticism. When I met Daniel, I realized that the boy didn't move me at all from a sexual point of view. In fact, what happened to me is what happens in the film: the teacher doesn't start out with a great passion for the boy. Their relationship is a circumstance of shared loneliness."
