It is a tricky thing to get the mix of magical realism right for a diverse audience. There are those demands perfect verisimiltude in all things save one aspect, or maybe two, as if they were ashamed of the magic. Then again there is a real difference from pure fantasy land here.
On the one hand almost everything is magical already. On the other hand we lose our sense of wonder. It is not a sense of potential that hovers in the thick air of Allende however. It is an air of menace. I am not sure Wynona Rider was the right casting choice for a torture victim.
