I found it a bit too heavy on symbolism the first time around, whereas Cria Cuervos works amazingly well both as a coming-of-age story and an allegory. And Ana Torrent is almost certainly the best child actor I've ever seen (though I've read great things about Victoire Thivisol in Ponette).Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10098730808325542991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8227451663526386493.post-72445298498593474882013-06-04T15:47:26.669+03:002013-06-04T15:47:26.669+03:00Thank you Jan for mentioning Cria Cuervos.
