Yes, this was a serious film about a torrid affair that turns into a second torrid affair, which evolves into a third...you know... The eternal triangle, with all three principals interested in each other. Some of us loved it, while others objected to the blatant nudity and/or drug use.
Here's what I liked:
- The choreography at the beginning of this film that starts with Barcelona-based street entertainers. It was break dancing as done in a Bollywood musical: fast, skillful, clever and unique.
- Appealing stars, particularly the men: Àlvaro Cervantes as Rai, and Llorenç Gonzales as Bruno.
- The flaws in the double standard, when examined closely by today's more enlightened young adults.
- The little gaggle of co-workers at our heroine's non-profit news- paper as they gossip, snoop, pry and otherwise stick their noses into her personal business.
- The mother's reaction when she realizes that the apple didn't fall very far from the tree: her daughter is echoing her own choices.
This reminded some of us of "3" a little German romance featured at SIFF last year, which had the same scenario. I reviewed it May 12, 2011. Proceed at your own risk....
