emotional healing that occurs as we watch Agresti bare his soul on the screen.
One moment he is calm and reassuring, the next he is violently scolding his son for tampering in his relationships.
We also learn of his failure to provide for the family financially. But Valentin surmises that his father is too busy looking for a new girlfriend to send money, which leaves Valentin’s grandmother with nothing to do but bad-mouth her son in Valentin’s presence.
Valentin sometimes takes things into his own hands, feeling that the adult world handles its affairs badly.
He persuades a doctor to visit his grandmother when she is ill and later gives the doctor a painting as a present.
Outside events occupy his mind. He knows what is going on with astronauts, but has trouble grasping what it means when Che Guevara is killed. People walk out of a sermon in church about Che and at home anti-Semitism is prevalent.
The way Rodigo talks and listens and watches people is very convincing. One is reminded that he was directed by a man who was once Valentin himself. The film is warm and intriguing and will make the viewer care about what happens to him.
“Valentin” is rated PG-13 for some thematic elements and language and is in Spanish with English subtitles. Run time is 86 minutes.
