likely there be no real spoiler here and but i do hate all spoiler and so err on the side of caution . i be not sure if i be happy or sad that this film be so beautifully shot have it not be and i would have stop watch it pretty quickly . i find many element of the marcos and ana plot really annoy ( the conceit and the situation both ) . although i appreciate a beautiful body and the contrast between the actor felt more exploitative than honest . a truer actress play ana ( that be and not quite so fetching and physically perfect ) would have make it less annoy . a for the sex and it be not as awful a some make it out to be or perhaps read the comment before watch make me expect much bad ( that and i be not fat phobic ) . some scene strike me a just right and way over do at the same time ( the onanistic football watch scene be a perfect example and too much but there be something about it that i just love ) . the comment here by spanish speaker that the acting be just atrocious make me realize how much can be forgive when you do not speak the language of the film and but even i cringe at some of the performance . the scene in the countryside between marcos and his wife for example . ouch . during one scene we watch marcos walking and walking and walk through the countryside and with that dead look on his face . it would have be excruciatingly dull to watch but the landscape be breathtaking . like i say in the beginning and the photography save this film for me . mexico city look amazing in this film i feel a though i have really see the city in a way i never have previously . and the sound ( so heavy on the ambient ) be enjoyable as well . on a philosophical note and i tire of the notion that woman body be for wide consumption and and of see violence against woman a portray in many film ( a routine ) and but even with those predisposition and i could enjoy the film well and aspect of it . the last 20 minute or so . meh . but it be a beautiful film and for all of the flaw i saw in it . so and there you go .
