A Miracle of Spanish Cinema
There are many foreign films that captivated or inspired me,such as Roberto Benigni's "Life is Beautiful" and Federico Fellini's "Nights of Cabiria". But I haven't seen a foreign film so beautiful or so spiritual than Lidislao Vajda's "Miracle of Marcelino" (Marcelino pan y vino).
The Miracle of Marcelino is like a religious fairy tale that sends a message about hope and love. The film begins as an allegory where a town Franciscan monk is sent to tell a story to a terminally ill little girl about a miracle that occured several years ago. The story is based on the narration from this faithful monk.
After the Spanish civil war, twelve monks constructed their new monastary. Once they finished and settled in their new home, they had an unexpected surprise. A baby boy was given to them to take care of, inspite of their heavy work load. This boy, Marcelino, grows up to be a mischievous, but good hearted little five year old boy.
Because of Marcelino's mischievousness and childhood innocence, the boy becomes a saint. By watching this masterpiece,you realize the importance of faith and the value of being a child. This film is definitely the best foreign film I've ever seen. Never watch this film dubbed. The quality is in the English subtitles with its original Spanish language.

It's a very touching, realistic story seen through a young child's eyes. It's a must have for every home. I was told that it was based on a true story; nevertheless, you don't want to miss this masterpiece

I order this VHS dubbed in English, because I have a copy in spanish, I can not believe what a great job was done in dubbing this tape in English, I was amazed you will never know that this
movie originally was a spanish movie. I Love this movie, it is one of the greatest of the olden era. i thought when I order it in english that the speaking will be off and it would be obviouse that they were not really speaking in english, but i got to say this was a great job, if i did not know that Marcelino Pan Y Vino was a spanish movie , from watching this version in english VHS that I brought from amazon, it would have fool me.
I rate this moive a 10.
