Playful and erotic, a tale of two husbands...
25 July 2001 | by (Madrid, Spain) – See all my reviews

Bigas Luna has produced another captivating film. Though my Spanish isn't great, I saw the movie shortly after its release in Madrid, in Castellano (Spanish). The dialogue is playful and poetic, but the movie stands on its own without it.

A very visual film, with dramatic sweeping views reminiscent of an italian art film, the repetition and rythm of the film reflect the words from Homer's Odyssey that are echoed through it and that form the basis of the plot line. A must see for anyone who loves or is in love.
