Sexo, Pudor Y Lágrimas (1999)
Member Rating:  
The romantic foibles of two young couples in Mexico -- whose professional success has not led to personal satisfaction -- forms the basis of this comedy with serious undertones. Carlos (Victor Hugo Martin) is a student of new age spirituality, while his wife Ana (Susana Zabaleta) is a good bit more interested in the pleasures of the flesh, leading to no small amount of conflict. Tensions increase when Tomas (Demián Bichir), an old friend of the couple and Ana's former lover, comes to pay an extended visit. Elsewhere in the neighborhood, Andrea (Cecilia Suarez) is angry with her husband Miguel (Jorge Salinas), who doesn't appear to put much stock in monogamy, and she's even more annoyed when he announces that his former girlfriend Maria (Monica Dionne), who has just left her husband, will be their house guest for a while. After a great deal of arguing and soul searching, a temporary agreement is reached between the two couples and their friends -- the men will stay in one apartment while the women will stay in another until cooler heads prevail. Sexo, Pudor Y Lagrimas/Sex, Shame and Tears was written and directed by Antonio Serrano, who adapted his own successful stage play. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Excellent. Not only one of my favorites but one of the great movies which gave traction to a new & modern era of film in Mexico. Romantic drama around the lives of two couples and their friends. The problems in marriage combined with the emptyness feeling that has come to their lives & souls is the perfect excuse to have a break which is more like a war of sexes. Great soundtrack too featuring Aleks Syntec. The lyrics of the song could not be more meaningful: "Sometimes I do not think \ I become so cold and I am not \ sometimes I absent myself of my feelings \ and then I smile \ I remember and I cling to live \ and sometimes I would like to kill for your love \ only for a moment"

I just wanted to smack a few of the characters at times. This is just insane. At least I got to see some T and A

An annoying, loud, obnoxous and ridiculous film. Not worth the time it took to stick in the DVD player.
