I saw Erendira last night. While it wasn't a total loss I have to admit
that I didn't like it very much. The story just wasn't very satisfying.
I think I expected more, particularly considering the source material,
"100 Years of Solitude". Considerable liberties were taken in the
process of making a film from the book. The story , such as it is , rambles
along sadly lacking anything resembling a plot. Characters drift in and
out of the story, their significance unknown . Phooey.

I'm sorry to hear that some have found the movie a disappointment. I
hope to see it soon. It's about time that some of the fruits of Latin
American literature start showing up as movies -- there's so much
potential there.
