Amores escandalosos (1982)

The Mexican romantic character is known for an ungovernable passion that will defy all social and family constraints while in pursuit of its object of adoration. That inherent drive to provide the heart what the heart needs accounts for the incessant, quickened pulse that beats throughout Amores Escandalosos (1982). Loosely translated as Scandalous Affairs and directed with hot-blooded panache by Claudio Isaac, this drama of morality pitted against love's wayward desires leaves its participants and viewers alike spent and punished but eager to start it all over again.
