I saw it at the Chicago Film Festival. I personally did not enjoy it at all. I produced and edited a documentary and as far as production values, the doc didn't have a beginning, middle or end. No climax and resolution, so you had no idea when it was going to end. I believe that this is the director's first foray into documentary filmmaking, so the strange elements that worked in his narratives that I've seem (el Sexo y Lucía, Amantes del Circolo Polar) didn't work here.

It's basically 110 minutes of interviews with politicians, musicians, analysts, poet, victims of ETA, victims of the Guardia Civil. He presents both side, but if you know absolutely nothing about the conflict, it might prove a little difficult. They talk about Batasuna and don't tell you what it is right away, etc. While the testimonies are moving, I couldn't enjoy tehm due to the fact that they were interspersed with sweeping shots of beautiful Pais Vasco. So in the middle of an interview, you'd have a travel-show type shot of a beach and then more interviews. Then at the end, Julio Medem has the camera shot go over every single interviewee's head and beyond, which takes FOREVER.

I wouldn't recommend it. If you're really interested, reading a book about it would be more helpful.
