A Spanish classic that isn't really all that great. The Age of Beauty is a somewhat farcical comedy about a boy who finds himself the center of attention when he shacks up with a farmer and his four daughters. It's just not very funny. Nor very attractive or romantic. It's just a bit slow and predictable. The cinematography is relatively colorful, but dull. The soundtrack is atrocious, and the performances are rather overstated. The plot isn't all that original either. It's never too boring, and the drama is never heavy or burdensome, I'm still a bit surprised a film like this did so well back in the days. Read all
