Holmes, the literary creation, is important in the development of film, yet films that use his character do so without mining the cinematic possibilities. Now here is a film that does just that.
Agreeable and charming Holmes film with continuous suspense and intrigue when some killings have been committed in the Ripper's style. It starts in a prologue from ¨Los Conjurados¨ by Jorge Luis Borges : ¨Thinking about Holmes results to be a pleasure that remains still¨ .
For nearly no reason at all, a very un-Holmes-like Sherlock Holmes travels to Madrid with a very un-Watson-like Dr. Watson.
