About this product
Product Information
This bold tale of passion's dire consequences is one of Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar's most smoldering films. Antonio Banderas stars as Antonio Benítez, an obsessive fan of writer-director Pablo Quintero (Eusebio Poncela), a cocaine-snorting homosexual hedonist whose last boyfriend, Juan (Miguel Molina), has just moved out. Antonio and Pablo have a few passionate nights, but Antonio's obsessive love soon proves hard for the noncommittal Pablo to escape from. Meanwhile, Pablo's transsexual sister, Tina (Carmen Maura), has problems of her own, including a closet brimming with dark sexual skeletons and Ada (Manuela Velasco), her unofficially adopted daughter. Pablo writes a play for Tina to star in, but when Antonio stalks and murders Juan in a fit of jealousy, the police end up suspecting the character Tina performs in the play. Pablo winds up with amnesia after a car accident, and the troubles just get weirder from there. For American audiences unfamiliar with Almodóvar's style, this film may prove a shocking experience, but his fans know that beneath their transgressive exteriors, his films throb with a palpable love of humanity, life, beauty, and art. This is a fine example of that art, with great music and memorable performances all around.Product Identifiers

Good but a Little Slow Moving
This is a good film albeit kind of a slow moving one. The plot doesn't develop very smoothly. The plot involves several men in gay relationships and a trans sister who inserts herself into them. There is some jealousy and envy involved. The actors are pretty good. I believe this is one of Antonio Banderas' earliest films. He has a really dramatic role and he does it well. I don't see why the film has an NC-17 rating. The rating indicates it is for an explicit sexual scene. I failed to interpret any of the sexual scenes as explicit. An R rating would have covered everything. Anyway, I did enjoy the film aside from its rather slow pace.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
