Did he rise from the dead?, 4 April 2005
5/10
Author: dbdumonteil

People will fatally evoke "los ostros" and "the sixth sense".Those remarkable works did not invent the "trick" though.It was already used in "carnival of souls "(1962).And anyway "arte de morir" owes more to the largely underrated "Jacob's ladder" and to the rather original adolescent movie " Campfire tales" .

"El arte de morir" suffers from a screenplay which lacks focus and intensity and the story does not take off during the first thirty minutes.There are good ideas which suggest that the movie could have been much better than what we see on the screen.I particularly dig the lines "it takes nine months to be born,why would it take so little time to die?"

"There'll come a time when all of us must leave here(...) There' ll come a time when all our hopes are fading When things that seem so very plain Become an awful pain." (George Harrison,"Art of dying","All things must pass " album)
