i liked it when i first saw this in my early teens and i liked it again as an adult. both performances are outstanding (no wonder hurt got an oscar for this, but julia is equally amazing). i love how both characters evolve, in a kind of sancho and quijote way, where at the end of the story they've influenced each other so much that they are no longer the same person. i would have liked molina to tell more films (in the book there are five, i think whereas in the film they focus on a long one and the short story with the spider woman), but porobably it's because i really like 'cat people' and i felt disappointed it never made it into the film version. maybe there were some problems getting the rights for it... or they just wanted to focus on the nazi-propaganda story to have some parallelism with valentín's political activism. Anyway, all in all, a fantastic story.
