(2009) The Wind Journeys/ Los viajes del viento
(In Spanish with English subtitles)
SPIRITUAL DRAMA
If you've seen and liked "The Devil And Daniel Webster" then this movie is something of that nature- that and "The Straight Story" since it's like the "Daniel Webster" of accordions in the spiritual kind of way. Written and directed by Ciro Guerra starring Marciano Martínez as accordion traveler, Ignacio Carrillo while riding on top of a donkey to return his accordion back to the original owner. He gets followed by an ambitious teenager, Fermin Morales (Yull Nunez) who throughout the movie sometimes steals parts of the movie as he aids and helps Ignacio to complete this objective. Fermin's main motivation is to learn how to play the accordion instrument, but what he get instead is what viewers get, which is the customs and practices of accordion music as a result of their traveling. This movie may be too slow to some viewers as we're showed some gorgeous looking landscapes throughout the regions.
