Watch The Man Who Shook the Hand of Vicente Fernandez
The film tells a story of an old man whose trouble is about never becoming well-known and is tired of boring life. After suffering a stroke, he ends up in a nursing home where he has a chance to make his dream come true.
Borgnine's robust performance keeps the pic grounded in a melancholy reality of frustrated dreams, bitter resentments and last-chance opportunities for redemption.
It gives film fans the chance to see the late Ernest Borgnine in his last acting gig and to see that he clearly relished every opportunity to perform. Unfortunately, the film surrounding him is a pulseless homage to spaghetti westerns.
