Oh. My. God! Even in English instead of Spanish, this is a
Must See Film. Salma Hayak, Alfred Molina, the whole cast, were superb. There
is sex in the film, and it can be pretty graphic, but not pornographic, but it
is also required. Julie Taymor, the director, did a fantastic job. The special
effects were, well, fantastic, and the music...ah, the music! The classical
guitar got to me early on, and the tears were never far after that.
Intellectually, I know I watched a movie, but emotionally, I was in it. It's a
love story, but not a romance. It's an adult film by, for, and about adults. It
will captivate you, draw you in, whether or not you believe in her politics or
the openness of her marriage.
