THE OTHERS - LOS OTROS

During this month, we should watch the Spanish movie Los Otros - The others.

It is a very interesting movie, maybe you cannot learn from it about Spanish customs or culture, but you can really know how it is possible for an Spanish director and technical team to prepare a very well done and imaginative movie. Post a comment once you have watched it and tell us your opinion about the movie. Los otros (2001) The others 101 min - Drama | Mystery | Thriller - 7 September 2001 (Spain) Director: Alejandro Amenábar Writer: Alejandro Amenábar Stars: Nicole Kidman, Christopher Eccleston and Fionnula Flanagan Synopsis A woman named Grace retires with her two children to a mansion on Jersey, towards the end of the Second World War, where she's waiting for her husband to come back from battle. The children have a disease which means they cannot be touched by direct sunlight without being hurt in some way. They will live alone there with oppressive, strange and almost religious rules, until she needs to hire a group of servants for them. Their arrival will accidentally begin to break the rules with unexpected consequences. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0230600/?ref_=fn_al_tt_7
