This film is very special in many ways. It has been completely filmed with digital cameras, and visually one feels as if one is personally witnessing the events from a few feet away. It's stylishly done, no hand held shaky camera movements here! The story deals with the manner in which a woman falls for the charms of a cheeky chap, who slowly starts abusing her generosity. She allows it, not because he intimidates her physically, but because he threatens to leave her if she doesn't agree with whatever he wants from her, and she may end up alone again in the no frills life she had beforehand, a life without the thrills he provides. There are also moments when we believe that there must be love and desire between these two characters, so that the 'sado-masochistic' emotional relationship doesn't become an alien concept. A movie that tells a story in a subtle way which is seldom found nowadays in cinema. The director has written an excellent script, and envisualized it pleasantly. We are immediately drawn into the story from the moment we see the main actress and actor meet. Very good acting performances from both main characters, and there's also a small cameo from Leonor Watling, from Almodovar's "Hable con Ella, as a prostitute.
