cimorenewatched most of this movie in spanish today. only four people came, the sports guy who can't pronounce; the high school girl who is really hot, but too thin; and the asian boy with lots of acne. all were nice. it was a good small group.
the movie was in spanish--gorgeous argentinian spanish, my god, i love that accent--but subtitled. i think i could have followed well without, but appreciated the consideration. the tv's color made everything too neon--you know, orange and green. hue intensity up (says my icon-making brain), which was distracting sometimes. plot was nice and not too hard to follow, and it's pretty classy for a soap opera.
which it is.
a totally sordid melodrama, and unashamed. a historical one, no less, about a catholic upperclass socialite running away to live in sin with a jesuit priest who's already a bit dissentious towards rosas, the dictator of great evil at the time. politics, costumery, money shots, frantic sex--what more could you ask?
