Sinopsis
(All Movie Guide)
The Spanish/Argentinian
Of Love and
Shadows (De
Amor y Sombras) is a fragmentary adaptation of the Isabel Allende novel of
the same name. The scene is Chile, during the dictatorial Pinochet regime of
the early 1970s. Journalist Jennifer Connelly, insulated from the truth and
enjoying the romantic favors of Army officer Camillo Gallardin, prefers to
turn a blind eye to the political turmoil all around her. She changes her
attitude abruptly when she falls in love with charismatic self-styled
anarchist Antonio Banderas. The grim realities depicted in the Allende novel
are soft-pedalled in favor of the Connelly-Banderas love story-which, truth to
tell, doesn't play very well on screen.
