Saw this film the other night. Better than fiction. On so many levels, it inspires by revealing the power of both music and the musician, even when the musician is unknown in his own land  and made  mythological in another. I ordered the soundtrack, but you must see the film first. It just came out on DVD in the US.

Thank you Rodriguez.

Just finished watching this with my wife. I don't want to raise any expectations, so will just say that we both really enjoyed it.

Chose not to see it because, unfortunately, I read a review which gave the full story away. I don't know why they do these things.
