Movie Reviews of Miracle of Marcelino
Movie Review: An Innocent, Tender Movie From The Mid '50s
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow, this was stunning, both in photography and in content. Here's a nice, old-fashioned "religious story" you rarely see anymore.
It's a simple tale of a group of monks who discover a baby at their monastery doorstep one morning and then raise the boy. They try to find suitable parents for the infant but are unsuccessful. The infant scenes don't run too long because, before you know it, they have fast-forwarded it to when the boy was six years of age....and that's where he stays until the end of the film.
Pablito Calvo as the title character, Marcelino," is excellent. Kudos to cinematographer Heinrich Gartner for beautiful black-and-white photography. The DVD transfer was very good, too. The lighting, particularly on faces, is terrific.
I found the story oddly captivating the entire way and very touching and moving in the last 20 minutes or so, after the boy discovers the big statue of Christ and supernatural things begin to happen.
You'll never find this at a rental store but those you are curious, you might want to add it to your queue if you belong to one of those mail-in rental programs, or buy it here sight-unseen. This film was a collaboration of Spanish and Italian filmmakers, I think. There was a color re-make in the early '90s, but I haven't seen it.
It's a film of tender "innocence" like few I've ever seen, which makes it very memorable.
Summary of Miracle of Marcelino
VCI is very pleased to present this special classic motion picture in a new digitally mastered version. A Grand Prize Award winner at the International Cannes Film Festival and a heartwarming film, "Marcelino Pan Y Vino," is about a little orphan boy who causes a miracle. Left on the doorstep of a monastery as an infant, Marcelino was raised by the Monks. He was well cared for but lonely and missed having a mother. One day he found a special friend in the forbidden attic... hanging on a cross. A friend that would repay Marcelino's kindness by granting him one heart-felt wish.
