Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Sadly Over-hyped

Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

Admirable film.

I first watched this movie about 5 years ago I believe and since that day it held the place to be the best movie I have ever watched. (It's because of personal reasons mostly) I'm a theater actress and I started my career with street theater. The movie is perfect for me because it is relatable. All of the terrible things and obstacles that were shown in the movie still exists for those who wanna do street theater. People don't have enough money for themselves let alone watching a theater play. And lemme tell you something, if it's not a government-payed theater ''company'' it is expensive. Because the stage rents, the decor and costume expenses, everything you need to stage a play -including the taxes- are outrages. People want to do street theater because they want everyone to be able to have fun and watch a play. They think theater should have a purpose and it should. From the early days of Ancient Greek theater had always have a purpose and a message to tell people.Believe me, you won't regret watching this movie. We are still going through the same things after 14 years of its release.

Actually, I made this review for a class back during my undergrad days.. http://ccesporlas.blogspot.jp/2016/01/noviembre-art-that-makes- people-feel.htmlIt was a beautiful, a must-watch, comic yet heart-gripping movie. This movie presents an art that's not just meant to entertain but to reflect reality, question social norms and make the audience think, and be drawn into a drama that seems all too real.Favorite quote. Sorry I couldn't remember who said it. "We wanted to change the world, we failed miserably. Now I just try to not let the world change me."

I am interested in finding out where (online preferably. that ships internatioanlly as I am based in Manila, Philippines) I can purchase the DVD of this movie (Noviembre by Achero Manas). I have emailed the producers/distributors in Spaon and I haven't received any replies. Help! I am not particular whether the DVD has English subtitles or not (as I speak and understand Spanish). I would like to have a Spanish subtitled option though, as I plan to study the dialog of the movie. Any comments/suggestions or just pointers would greatly help. I donot believe in nor do I practice the downloading of movies via the net, so please, only legitimate suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

Just caught this on HBO-Latino. My Spanish is very limited so I couldn't understand that much either. But I don't think it's helpful to say it's "definitely an artsy masturbation job". I would urge readers to pay more attention to the fact that 150 people gave it a vote of 8 out of 10. Even the 1st reviewer gave it an 8. SEE THIS FILM! I thought it was very provocative -- an indie that deserves the name in the best of the tradition. Even if it is pretentious or self-important, or whatever 'artsy masturbation' means, this film goes well outside the dull, predictable, mainstream -- at least in its ambition if not farther. But not in a Warhol kind of way. It had something to say. Perhaps the message was, as Ben Harper sings, "You have to fight, Fight, FIGHT.......for your mind", i.e., fight conformism, fight indoctrination, fight regimentation, fight bourgeois control of the mind space. And enjoy the freedom you obtain thereby.Just my $0.02
