La Mujer de Benjamin (1991)
Member Rating:  
When he's not in his store working with his sharp-tongued, disagreeable sister, Benjamin, who never married, hangs out with his cronies. However, whenever the lovely and virginal teenager Natividad walks by, a hush falls over his group. Benjamin's gaze, in particular, remains fixed on her departing figure. The lads have noticed this and teasingly suggest that the overweight, fiftyish bachelor should kidnap her. One day, he actually does this. However, once he has her in his rooms he is much too shy to do anything with her. On the other hand, the far-from-innocent Natividad considers him to be a much better catch than anyone else she has seen in town (including her current boyfriend), and he appears to be someone who can be easily manipulated, so she refuses to leave. Instead, she quickly makes herself the dominant figure in his household. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

La Mujer de Benjamins (Benjamin's woman) has some of the best photography you can find, though some of it is lost in the dvd.. The story is magnificently told through the eyes of a quiet spectator. As the movie progresses, it brings you closer to he lives of Benjamin, his sister and "Benajamin's Woman".

I appreciate ambitious foreign projects like this film, still, it was like reading a very slow book that relied on a gimmick. mucho laborious scenes but I admit that I was curious as to where it would go. That is the lure of this film, though I had to dig deep to find one. A lot of the scenarios were hard to believe,(ie: his non criminal friends, collectively suggesting that he kidnap the girl to make her fall for him) and that Benjamin, an introverted wimp that couldn't wash his own ass (literally), was once a prizefighter. Some of the plot details were unclear, I had no idea that the older lead woman was his sister, I thought it was his wife because she was bathing him in the nude. I didn't hate this film, but i didn't love it either. it was a low budget look into the lives of small town mexican people. The acting was okay, but most people will be bored by the films pacing. Actress, Arcelia Ramirez, was cute but she looked much older than they intended her to look.
