CGiii Comment
Definitely daring for its [political] time...but, alas, it's not the easiest film to follow...nor is it terribly involving.
Slow-paced and rather lifeless...the inclusion of the poetry and the variety acts are questionable...neither do anything to move this static story forward.
Only for those interested in Spanish cinema as it emerged from the dark dark days of Franco's dictatorship.
No trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
To An Unknown God is a film about an aging man coming to terms with his (homo)sexuality and mortality.
