Devil's Backbone
Originally uploaded by skipscorpio.
I took a chance on a Spanish film by the director who did Hellboy and Blade 2 called the Devil's Backbone.
I would have to say that I highly recommend it if you are into genre bending films. It's a period piece but also kind of a horror movie with a revenge element to it. Sounds interesting doesn't it?
My faith has been partially restored in the cinema of Europe. Finally.

You should see this spanish/french film...Don't Tempt Me.
Penelope Cruz, Victoria Abril, Gael Garcia Bernal...The two ladies are angels from Heaven and Hell, Bernal is the DEVIL..they are fighting over the soul of a boxer. Kinda crazy "oh we are in heaven and heaven is Paris in the 40's" moments. Hell is a cafeteria where the waitresses are all dressed like hookers and serving up steaks to demanding assholes. The waitresses are all former execs, bigwigs, etc..who now have to be groped, raped, assaulted for all eternity..Good rental.
I loathe Penelope Cruz, but I'm gonna Netflix this one anyway.
Thanks for the tip! (gabe jazzy I assume?)
