A Contratiempo (1982)
New director Oscar Ladoire has decided to write, direct, and star in his second movie, about a sophisticated director who walks out of the premiere of his latest film, hops in his nifty car, and skedaddles out of town. When he stops at a gas station, he picks up what has come to be derisively known as a "bimbo" -- a woman who cannot speak in any language except that of the streets, who exudes sex with every movement, and who, quite naturally, is ready to go along with the first man who picks her up -- in this case, the upper-crust director. The two set off for Galicia with no particular objective in mind, other than the geographical, and the film follows them on their travels with the same attitude. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
