Simply A Masterpiece
From my favorite movies..
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
An encyclopedia salesman gets a camera and convinces his wife to make pornographic films as a means to make a quick buck. However, the man has aspirations of becoming Ingmar Bergman and the woman desires a child. It's a mildly amusing Spanish comedy, well acted by Camera as the angst-ridden and insecure husband and Pena as his plain but naughty wife. The title comes from the film within the film that Camera makes, a pretentious opus inspired by Bergman's "The Seventh Seal." Although released in 2003, the setting is the 1970s and the cheesy 1970s porno flick look of the film is probably intentional on the part of director Berger.
When I saw the poster of "Torremolinos 73" at my favorite movie theater, it was clear: I had to see that movie.I expected 90 minutes of bursting out laughing. Let's say, that wasn't exactly the case.It sure has its moments of incredible comedy but, surprisingly, also moments of real tragedy and drama. I was quite stunned.In the end, the story is absolutely original, I wouldn't know about anything similar, the actors all do a great job, the dialog is mostly very nice and all this ends up in a fine little piece of entertainment.Not perfect, not amazing, but amusing and entertaining? Definitely!
i just saw this movie this Saturday. there was a Spanish film festival in one of the theaters here and i brought my friend along to watch.. the theater was packed, i'm telling you, even if i found that hard to believe, hahaha. the movie was funny, and yeah, charming too. i'm glad i got to watch it, and i hope to watch more in the future. i won't be telling anything more about torremolinos. the user comment was quite useful.. oh yeah, i liked the B&W shots in the carnival that alfredo shot for his movie "torremolinos 73." and one song there, i just can't get it off my mind... the one that goes "carmen, carmen, carmen.. te quiero y lo sabes." it's such a happy song, hahah.
I found this to be a captivating and entertaining movie - great pains were taken to reproduce that 70's look and feel and it is totally convincing. While seemingly limited in their ambitions, the main characters are nevertheless sympathetic and there are some quirky sidekicks whose characters are fleshed out enough to be entertaining as well - everyone from the landlady, the boss, to the friend who drives. I also found myself seriously enjoying the director's X-rated version of an Ingmar Bergman film over the actual film it self. The woman doesn't have much ambition aside from being "womanly" but it is based on a true incident and hey it was the 70's in Spain.
