Review

Celos (1999) translates as jealousy, and that is the single minded theme in this film from noted Spanish director Vicente Aranda.

Carmen (Aitana Sánchez-Gijón) and Antonio (Daniel Giménez Cacho) are to be married, when Antonio discovers a picture of her with 5 friends, including one man with his arm around her. Antonio can't leave it alone, and wants to know about the relationship. It becomes increasingly obvious that Carmen is hiding something. Antonio works as a long haul trucker for the same orange packing house that Carmen works for, which gives him ample opportunity to investigate, and try to find this mysterious man, even after they marry. I didn't predict the ending.

Sánchez-Gijón shows breasts and buns several times making love with Cacho. Although the scenes are not overly explicit, they are very hot. We also see extended nudity including full frontal from Itziar Miranda as a hooker that Cacho questions. The lighting was very nice, making the most out of Spanish sunlight, and the performances were also good

IMDB readers have it at 6.7/10, which is about right. The DVD has subtitles that can't be turned off, and is a little dark and grainy in places. It is billed as a thriller, but is more of a drama. I enjoyed it. C+
