Sexo, Pudor y Lagrimas (1999)
Broad Meetings
By Jeffrey M. Anderson This overcooked Mexican filmunsuccessfully tries to balance heavy, hysterical drama with broad,drawing-room comedy, but it succeeds only in inducing headaches. It concernsthree men and three women with relationship troubles; when two couples break upbecause of cheating with the fifth and sixth people, the men move to oneapartment and the women to the other. Of course, they can see each other acrossthe street. The dialogue consists mostly of high-minded speeches that aresupposed to be either funny or motivating, and writer/director Antonio Serranogives us only patchwork characters. One man is too into his writing to payattention to his sexy wife. Another man is too shallow, etc. All thishigh-pitched nonsense hurled at your head for 108 minutes is a serious trial. In addition, Fox Home Video has released two other titles in their 2004 Cinema Latino series. In Vivir Mata, a visual artist (Daniel GinemezCacho) and a radio show host (Susana Zabaleta) meet and spend a daytogether lying to each other and falling in love. Nicolas Echevarriadirects. And in Fernando Sariñana's El Segundo Aire (a.k.a. "A SecondChance"), a thirtysomething college professor is tempted away fromher football-loving husband by a handsome environmental activist.
