The Endless Trench, an engrossing epic that begins during the Spanish Civil War in 1936 and spans three decades...Belén Cuesta is superb as the long- suffering wife.

| Original Score: A- | Feb 3, 2021

In any event, the overriding impression left by The Endless Trench is that of the horror and violence of the Franco regime, and the fear it instilled in the population, and the impossibility of reconciling with or forgiving that.

Man hides from fascists for decades; language, sex, rape.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 2, 2020

The ultimate exemplar of agoraphobia. At 147 minutes, The Endless Trench makes the audience feel the years go by along with the imprisoned man.
