Nominated for an Academy Award(R) as Best Foreign Language Film, THE GRANDFATHER is a deeply compelling tale of love, honor, and secrecy. When news of his son's death returns proud, old Count Albrit home to Spain after years abroad, he's pleased to meet his two charming young granddaughters. But he also carries the burden of a newly discovered family secret: one of the girls is not his son's daughter ... and therefore not his true heir! Starring original cast members from the Oscar(R)-winning Spanish film sensation ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER -- you'll be inescapably drawn into this powerful story as the determined Count sets out to discover which grannddaughter is worthy of his love and name!

4.0 out of 5 stars 4 stars rating is well deserved - a quite good movie, Oct 25 2003

This review is from: Grandfather (Widescreen) (DVD)
very good movie full of intellectual dialogues, beautiful scenes and settings, disgusting people, likable and lovely people are well chosen and nicely performed. this is a film that needs you to sit back to appreciate with better spirit and not feel sleepy or tired before starting, otherwise you might fall asleep or nodding off without even knowing it. but once you finish it, you'd know that you've watched a very good film. there is no climax or downturns but peacefully carried out and performed well from the very beginning to the very end.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent foreign movie but sound-sync defective, Jan 19 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Grandfather (Widescreen) (DVD)
This is a beautifully filmed, scripted and acted movie. It was directed by the same director of "To Begin Again/Volver a Empezar" (1982). However, many non-spanish speakers might not have noticed this, but the spanish language soundtrack (the original language of this film) is out of sync with the video. I contacted Miramax and they sent me another copy of the DVD. It had exactly the same problem. It is a shame that such a beautiful film was produced without adequate quality control. I almost gave it 3 stars because of this defect; but this is not the fault of the artists.

5.0 out of 5 stars A True Gem, Dec 18 2001

This review is from: Grandfather (Widescreen) (DVD)
This film is a masterpeice of Spanish Literature made into film. With classic themes of Love, honor, family and pride this film is one everyone can relate to on some level. In addition the use of light in this film will take your breathe away. It is so vivid as to be like another actor in the scenes. I rented this film with little thought and came away astounded. Now I own it. So if you can watch one movie without a car chase or an explosion you ought to make it this one! What a gem!
