Un secreto de Esperanza

A true master piece, I have seen this movie twice, I was lucky enough be invited to see it at a special screening in L.A. in 2002 and I saw it again once it opened here in Mexico.

This move has something that a lot of Mexican movies lack, it has honesty and sincerity in its characters.

It is superbly well written, very well directed, Imanol and Katy Jurado accomplished really great performances and the movie is rounded off by the excellent acting of Ana de la Reguera and Jaime Aymerich.

The photography is also excellent.

If you have a chance, please go see this movie, you wont regret it.

This movie is wonderful. I loved the acting, the music, the photography, etc... Even when I am not a movie-expert, I consider that this movies contents the most important thing that any movie has to have: LIFE The movie touched me and I am very glad to have seen this movie in Mexico at the premier in this country.

Very very well done to all the people involved, specially to the producers, Moy Jafiff, Benito Salerno and Aquiles Enriquez.

Of course, every one of the actors deserves my recognition and admiration, Katy Jurado was an excellent actress and human being and this movie shows the best of her. Imanol is a very cute guy. Ana De la Reguera and Jaime Aymerich complements the history with very good acting. Thank you to every one of the people who make this movie a reality.

A touching movie in which the character of Esperanza blends with Katy Jurado, producing such an effect in Jorge, played by Imanol, that changes his life. Both performances are remarkable, as well as the homage payed to a great actress. The photography is great, the music beautiful and the art work excellent. Though it could be shorter.

A beautiful Secret: it's a pretty nice movie, with a great Katy Jurado, the only Mexican actress who received an Oscar in Hollywood. The male protagonist of the movie is Jaime Aymerich (Latin - see also serial "Fat Actress"), really capable in playing the character of Jorge when adult. The message that the movie wants to communicate is: don't ever forget to be yourself. It's the story of the friendship between a young boy and an old teacher and of the fair things that she teaches the boy and which will determine his behaviour when adult. Among the producers of "Secreto" there's Aquiles Enriquez, also very capable in his part. I hope that many people could have enjoyed this movie. Its premier was March, 18th in Mexico; then it came to US and the rest of America.

A wonderful tour de force performance by Katy Jurado playing an elderly writer who has lived and played hard and known many of the prominent artists and writers of her era. This was Jurado's final performance and in many respects her best!
