Viewing Notes
Missed this at DIFF last year and was quite sad, but now I can finally say I’ve seen the tale. This is an odd doc that goes places you don’t expect and ends in even more different places. I still can’t quite grasp why the family let this guy into their home so easily, or why the US Embassy/Spanish Courts let him go. Guess he’s just that slick.
