South American Mysticism and Preternatural Power February 3, 1999
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
A tragedy akin to Greek classics. A moving condemnation of those who judge who is insane and who is not. The images of the Pieta and holocaust prisoners as they appear in this extrodinary movie took my breath away. It must not be lost as it is timeless in it's humanitarian message. I have a copy and consider a treasure.
 An inspiration for A.I. July 20, 2001

For those of you who were dissapointed with Speilberg's A.I. This could be a true classic for "realistic science fiction" if this term existed. The film explores the true human feelings that exist in what appears to be an out of this world body. A combination between "Welcome to the Dollhouse and ET". One of Eliseo Subielas first films, it combines magic realism with the always fascinating world from outer space. And even though this film deals with technology it could never be outdated, because it's main focus is with the human heart.

This film is brilliant, pure and simple. Of course, now that we have KPAX, or whatever it is called, they will probably hail KPAX as a brilliant masterpiece, but this is the blueprint, THIS is the Masterpiece! This film really makes you think "what if??" If you love quality films that make you think, then watch this.
K-Pax revisited November 15, 2001

There is a strong resemblance between K-Pax and Man facing Southeast. It's not that k-Pax is a cover, but I'm sure it was influenced by this incredible piece of filmaking. It may be hard to find a copy, but it will be worth the effort.
Compelling...As remarkable as Daniel Quinn's, "Ishmael" September 9, 2006

This was a profoundly moving film. It conjured images of D.L. Rosenhan's(1973) research, "On Being Sane In Insane Places." The film forces the viewer to question the labels we attach to people, and how powerful they can be to limit them as human beings, to ostracize them from mainstream life, and to irreparably stigmatize them. After viewing this film, you will be struck by the audacity of any system (in this case the mental health system) that forces personality changes on those it views with suspicion and contempt. Although this film is in Spanish, it is subtitled and easy to follow. I would recommend this film for viewing at the high school and collegiate levels.
