A: When the director/writer Daniel Calparasoro is also the husband of the femme fatale in the middle.
This film feels older than the 2000 release date. It has a Cinemax After Dark kind of vibe, with sex and drugs and not rock n' roll but violence. The music is not rock n' roll but feels at odds with the film itself, almost a jaunty jokey soundtrack.
The actress and her first boyfriend I think give this film a little more watchability than it deserves, and that's in spite of the Skinemax soft-core moves. Not so much for bachelor #2, or the protective cop brother or the strung out Mom.
The story is familiar enough, but the description promises more of a class contrast, that maybe I lost in the translated subtitles. But I don't think so. If you are sticking with your NetFlix DVD package (like I am but should quit) because you have a lot of titles in your queue that your library doesn't have, then stop.
You are better off watching better films, Criterion or otherwise at the library. I wish I remembered why I put some of these films in my queue. Hmm, Najwa Nimri had a minor role in "También la lluvia" maybe that other DVD came with this on the "Coming Attractions" trailers? (BTW "Tambien" was an interesting movie with definite class themes and a more original story.)
If you are looking for a Bonnie (in short shorts) and Clyde and Clyde in Espanol, the maybe watch this film. The other thing that stood out for me is this had a sort of old Western approach to gun shots, where somehow bullets never kill people.
Even though the actors survive this movie, the Calparsoro / Nimri marriage did not. Maybe some smart film critic student can make a thesis out of this movie as commentary on open relationships?!?
