Humberto Solas melodrama, 1982
A wham-bam melodrama, one story, straight up cause-effect scene to scene, runs through various permuations. More classic also visually, with more of a wish for establishing shots. Depth isn't the main issue here, but a few examples. Note again the hints of gothic stylisings, the melodrama of the fearsomely dramatic woman, going completely nuts in the end. Put into a political framework as well, adding an edge certainly not there in the standard (if such a thing exists) Hollywood melodrama. Not exactly riveting viewing, but nothing too awful
