Summary: 3 Stars
Note: Spanish with English subtitles.
Directed by the immensely talented director Maria Luisa Bemberg the '85 film `Camila' is a tale of tragic romance set in 1847 Buenos Aires. Camila (Susu Pecoraro), daughter of a wealthy and powerful family falls hopelessly in love with Father Ladislao (Imanol Arias), a new priest just recently arrived in town. When they run away together their actions stir the already volatile political/religious turmoil engulfing the country. When their whereabouts are discovered the "Powers That Be" must decide whether or not making an example of the two lovers could be advantageous to the governmental unrest.
I found `Camila' to be rather slow at times, especially at the beginning. The acting was also a little uneven delivering a number of stiff and uninspiring performances from the supporting cast while the two stars, Susu and Imanol tend to be overly dramatic in stark juxtaposition to the rest. However the pace does pick up quite a bit towards the end of the film and the ending is touching and poignant. Definitely a "chick flick" so gentleman beware.
My Rating: -3 ½ Stars-.
