Rating: - Virgil's Aeneid: Bigas Luna ' s Aphrodisiac
Bigas Luna is a Spanish director who has his own style (Jamón, jamón, Huevos de oro, Bámbola, Lumière et compagnie, La Femme de chambre du Titanic, etc) and his method of storytelling takes some adjustment on the part of the viewer. For those who treasure the magical mysteries of Latin dramas this film SON DE MAR (Sound of the Sea) will surely satisfy. Keeping with the title he has chosen (from Rafael Azcona's screenplay based on Manuel Vicent's novel) the presence of the complex sounds of ... Read More
Rating: - Bigas Luna, of the Greek Tragedies
At first I thought: oh come on, give me a break! The wandering, dreamy-eyed young teacher, the pouting, rap music-blasting village Lolita sucking whole oranges, the white panties on the clothes line -- could you be any more clichéd? But then the story grew on me, with its many parallels to the Greeks, so much so that I think I'll go back to the source and reread the original.

Rating:  - Romance, sex, betrayal, sex, suspense, sex, mystery, sex!
If you are familiar with any work of Begas Luna, you might recognize his desire to include sex, and this movie has its share of sexual scenes. Fortunately, the subjects and scenes were tasteful. And, if you are new to European film, they favor full frontal nudity. Upon viewing, we are given a warning.

Rating: - beautiful woman with low esteem
This film is beautiful. All of the scenery is gorgeous and the people are very beautiful as well. However, it tells the story of a gorgeous young woman who falls for a seductive teacher who turns her on sexually with poetic prose. However, he never tells her he loves her until their wedding day (shotgun wedding) and only after she forces it out of him. After the birth of their child, he seems uneasy with his new life as husband and father. He even removes his wedding ring. He then fakes his death in order ... Read More
Rating: - A good script with lows and peaks!
To talk too much about oneself is also another way of hiding.
Nietzsche.
This ambitious film started as a good premise. The raise of a passion through the literature reached its peak in previous films such as The Dead Poets Society, 84 Charing Cross Road, The dark side of the heart, Il Postino or Browning version
Until the first half, the film sustains its dramatic force but suddenly falls down in a dark hole of zero atmosphere. ... Read More
