Perhaps the most romantic film by Bigas Luna

"La Femme de chambre du Titanic" is one of the best film by the spanish director Bigas Luna and my opinion it is the only one.

The reason is because is very different,it is not like the other films,which serve us sex scenes.This film is romantic and present the fantasies of a middle class man (Olivier Martinez)when he win a ticket to the departure of the titanic.There,in England he knows a beautiful woman,Marie,and she pass a night with him in his hotel room.

then,when he returns,He tell stories in the bar and people heard them very carefully so he imagine new stories.

There is no explicit sex like in "Son de mar" or "Jamon,Jamon" and this is good because "la femme de chambre du titanic" Becomes Romantic and perhaps a little bit erotic
