On the first day of class, Sebastián meets two of his new schoolmates. The three kids come to the conclusion that all the teachers could die at that exact moment and it wouldn't change much: right after they say it, the music teacher falls as if she were struck by lightning.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
