Set in South America before the Second World War. The House of the Spirits is a hauntingly romantic epic tale spanning three generations of the Trueba family. At its core is the stormy, yet passionate relationship between the supernaturally gifted Clara (Meryl Streep) and her controlling husband Esteban (Jeremy Irons), who resists change both politically and personally. This is a timeless story of secrets, seduction, revenge and forgiveness. (Via Vision Entertainment)

A gigantic fresco that unfortunately gives the impression of antiquity. At first glance, everything is perfectly arranged, excellently acted, and aesthetically detailed, but unfortunately, there are many minor mistakes. From poor make-up effects to several unnecessarily inserted scenes that are completely irrelevant to the main plot, to an excessively slow and political final act. Nevertheless, the film is still on a high level and literally filled with emotions. The cast is truly stellar, and thanks to them, the result is relatively solid and watchable. Formally stark and somewhat poor, but painful to watch, though at times it is too long.
