DML Top 50 #40 - Dad's Full (Spoiler) Review and Deep Dive of A Walk in the Clouds

"Talking between men and women never solves anything. Where we think, they feel. They are creatures of the heart." - Don Pedro Aragon

Why watch this? Keanu does romance pretty well in this adorable film.

Plot Summary: Paul Sutton is a World War II soldier who returns home to a strained marriage. On his way back to California, he meets Victoria Aragon, a pregnant woman who is afraid to face her traditional Mexican-American family. Paul offers to pretend to be her husband to help her, but this leads to unexpected consequences as they spend more time together within her family's vineyard.

Dad's Preview: My sister loved this flick. I owe a lot to that fine lady. She instilled in me a love of genealogy, passed on her love of movies. She had hundreds of VHS tapes everywhere. Every visit, we'd stay up late watching her current recommendations. Her influence populates my lists. Cancer took her too soon. This wonderful romance always warms my heart. It's so beautifully shot, and has such a dreamy, wispy quality to it. Like the clouds. This film is like discovering the subtleties of a great oil work on canvas. Two actors stood out: Aitana Sánchez-Gijón - Wow. And... Anthony Quinn as the family's wise, humble patriarch - what a treasure.
