This is a film that is impossible to describe, but was beautifully praised by the director of SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, Jonathan Demme:
“I was lucky enough to first see Warsaw Bridge in Barcelona in 2000 as part of a 'hometown boy makes good' retrospective of Portabella’s work. I was literally freaked and said, 'Who? Pere Portabella? Used to produce Buñuel films? Why haven’t I ever even heard of this guy? How could a rich and dazzling and sumptuous film such as this remain so utterly unknown in my country? The exquisite images, the superbly rendered music, the bravura style, this bold narrative, the great performances, the perfection of the totality of this unique and vibrant wonderland of a film...?” As one reviewer said, time to get excited about film again.

"How could a rich and dazzling and sumptuous film such as this remain so utterly unknown in my country? The exquisite images, the superbly rendered music, the bravura style, this bold narrative, the great performances, the perfection of the totality of this unique and vibrant wonderland of a film — How to get it seen in America?” - Jonathan Demme
