Watch Idiot Love For Free

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

What a waste of my time!!!

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Leave it to geniuses like Ventura Pons, the Spanish director, to convince the higher ups in his country to subsidize this misguided attempt of a film. The sad state of the film industry in that country is a product of trying to make a film out of such thin material. Most of the pictures that are made in Spain fall under two categories: those about the Spanish Civil War, that love to present past history as the writers deem fit. The other type of films show the viewer with a lot of gratuitous sex because the 'creators' don't have anything interest to say. As the film opens we get to watch Pere's penis as he attempts to cut it off and place it in one of the platters at a party. Later on, Sandra will show all she has been given for the audience to admire. The story of Pere's attraction to Sandra, a married woman that seems to be happily married, is false from the start.Our only interest in watching the film centered on an earlier, better made picture by Mr. Pons, "Amic/Amat", but alas, it has nothing to do with the mess we are punished to watch in this venture. As far as the comments submitted in IMDb, all the negative votes come from Spanish viewers, which speaks volumes coming from them!

OK another 3 millions dollars toss to dump,in any Spanish movie its necessary put sex,no matter if its a drama,a comedy,a preteen movie,etc etc,you must put any sex scene,but in this movie is too much, the movie its about a jerk who says himself that is a jerk,OK the following 103 minutes of the movie its about jerks ideas of the main actor and about 20 sex scenes,but the main problem of this film ,its too boring,too cheap,and stupid characters(if you see a unknown man at your homes garden, you normally call to police,in Spain you can drink about 8 glasses of Geneva and still driving,)and Its recommended for those that had insomnia or want to see Barcelona on night..

Although the actors do a convincing job playing the losers that parade across the screen, the fact that these characters are impossible to identify with had me looking at my watch a mere 20 minutes into the film (and more than once after that). The plot development is disjointed and slow, the verbal diarrhoea of the main character's only friend is practically insufferable, the base quality of most of the characters actions and the cavalier way in which they are treating is annoying.It is typical of Ventura Pons to put forth crass psychologically handicapped characters. However, this faux sociological analysis is a big step down from CARICIAS or Caresses, where the characters maltreat and despise each other for well founded reasons that play out during that film. In AMOR IDIOTA we are forced to follow the meanderings of a truly subnormal intelligence as he stalks a severely depressed and detached woman. Supposedly this is due to his own depression but the script doesn't support that. I won't give away the rest of the story just in case there are any masochists out there… Is he cured through his obsession or is the woman shocked out of her own depression through his unwavering attention? Even though I watched the whole thing I wasn't made to care even for a moment about either of them.If you can sit through all this prejudice, ignorance, betrayal, BAD dialogue, flimsy philosophy, etc… the camera-work was pretty good and seems to be something inspired by the DOGMA group. The makeup also seemed to aim at showing these players in a raw and gritty light as it is the worst I've seen Cayetana Guillen Cuervo in any of her movies (while in person she is actually attractive).I suppose if the idea is that we should be forced to see the lower strata of society so we can be grateful we are not part of it then Pons has achieved his objective. The barrage of nearly identical sex scenes was a proper waste of film (if the actors had been filmed but once in blue green clothing the background behind them could have been changed in the special effects studio for a pittance). True that I heard much of the male audience squirm in their seats during this but an objective viewing proves that was not the real aim of those scenes.Save yourselves and watch something else.

This movie's radical because has got a lot of sex scenes. Ventura Pons doesn't know what to do: he doesn't know what to tell us with his new movie. Always the same story, between 2 characters and their obsessions.This movie's the story of Pere (Santi Millán) that falls in love of Sandra (Cayetana Guillén Cuervo). Between they will appear the obsession, and after, the love. The only think I liked of the movie was that I watched more than 10 sex scenes without close my eyes. What a lovely movie! The performances are good, but not great. Cayetana is the best of the movie, because Millan does bad.I think Ventura Pons wanted to show us the intimacy of this two people. Good Intimacy with 18 sex scenes.My rating: 5
