A visually exciting, intensely erotic movie, rich and satisfying… This is a wonderful, fanciful and very erotic movie. It is a rare film that is as good as the book on which it is based. A deeply moving and sensuous tale of forbidden love and it openly depicts female eroticism.
This movie is about how life used to be in Mexico. It is a sensual love story between Pedro and Tita, and why they coudn’t get married because Tita’s mother wanted her oldest daughter to get married first, and have Tita to stay and take care of her. It shows how marriage was imposed on those times, and how a love between two people can change everything. This picture set a new epoch in Mexican movies all over the world.
