    • Trivia
      Director Paula Ortiz cares immensely about the artistry of the shots and takes, that's why the cast usually had to act through adverse or unpleasant environment conditions. For example, the scene when the bride sings "la Tarara" was filmed in the middle of the desert of Los Monegros at 5 a.m. Actors also had to deal with strong wind (cierzo), blinding light or mosquitoes, or even against the clock filming when the scenes happened at sunset.
    • Goofs
      The groom chases the unfaithful bride on a BMW R25/2, formerly seen in the film with a sidecar. When he arrives, he rides an unidentified motorcycle (could it be a BSA?) which stalls.
    • Quotes

      Madre: Do you understand what marriage means child?

      La novia: Yes, madam.

      Madre: A husband, children and a two-yard thick wall between everything else.

      La novia: I will not disappoint.

      Madre: Of course, of course you won't.

    More to this movie than meets the eye or ears.

    Clebras and Rgfraiz should probably stick to blood and gore Hollywood made crap and the ever overrated Tarantino. This is a beautiful movie which speaks many idioms and yet no particular language because you have to decipher it yourself and it relies on one's own experience of life, love, desire, valid or repressed and forbidden to associate with this movie and its author. And with the book in particular. Every single choice whether it be the location(the DRY WHITE desert) to the houses which look more like ruins to the underlying stories. There is more than just a blood feud between them and the story with La Novia's mother which none of the above have understood and the reluctance of Le Novio's mother for her son to marry this particular woman......etc. There is just an immensity of codes and ciphers that need to be heard, seen and understood to appreciate this film,i.e CULTURE. Which to my despair seems to be more and more lacking nowadays. Better watched and understood in Spanish, including the dialectic words used. Or read the book before watching the film. Agree, not for everyone. But good movie. And Inma Cuesta is so good.
