Butterfly ★★★ La Lengua de las Mariposas; Butterfly's Tongue 1998 (R)
Young Moncho (Lozano) grows up in 1935 Galicia, Spain and is guided by his leftist teacher Don Gregorio (Gomez). But their lives are soon torn apart by the politics of the Spanish Civil War. This kind of languidly paced Turncoming-of-age story is almost never found in American theatrical releases these days. Europeans tend to treat the material with more seriousness. Director Jose Cuerda's work is solidly in the tradition of Fellini and Truffaut. Based on the stories of Manuel Riva; Spanish with subtitles. 94m/C VHS, DVD . SP Fernando Fernan-Gomez, Manuel Lozano, Uxia Blanco; D: Jose Luis Cuerda; W: Rafael Azcona; C: Javier Salmones; M: Alejandro Amenabar.
