Customer Reviews of Law of Desire
Hysterical, hot, and naughty. This film is an immersion into the topsy-turvy world of Pedro Almodovar and post-Franco Madrid, with plenty of explicit and subtle sexual ambiguity. Carmen Maura is first rate as a transexual actress/actor down on his/her luck, and Antonio Banderas is downright delicious as a young man obsessed with Maura's hedonistic and selfish brother (Eusebio Ponseca). There is great music here, and the movie is fun!
"KILLING CURIOUS URGES.........."
BOLD WORK, direction and then ACTING too by our young hero - ANTONIO BANDERAS. The opening sequence alone snaps you up right away......[you're not too sure if you entered the "wrong" theatre]
A tormented tale of about a very curious and persistant young man seeking clarity, wanting direction [?] about the alternate life styles in Modern Spain. It almost plays along the lines of a '60 ties "B" movie and maybe that's the intention - something along the lines of the Bergman, Montand and Perkins "Goodbye Again" vehicle, EVEN a male "Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone".
This one is darker, and Mediterranean passions ignite. An elegant scenario about an older man, pursued by a young, eager, uninitiated lad. Quite graphic too in its love-scenes, and draws a few tears for the sentimentally inclined. For the cynic? There are very funny lines, [subtitled] a little too bold for print, but it is very worth watching [maybe it's just in the translation].
Weak-points - the Hitchcockian slant on the story, and the transvestite sister [unwise, unaccurate casting].
It's an earlier work by PEDRO ALMODOVAR, still fresh, must be added to DVD heaven and paired with "Matador" - another splash of salsa!
It goes beyond intrigue of sexual perplections
Though the movie has its simplicities, the conotations are not missed: dual sexual identities, strange bed fellows, and the altamate sacrifice -lost of one's original identity to satiate anothers desires.
