El lado oscuro del corazón 2 (2001)

The romantic melodrama El Lado oscuro del corazón 2 (2001) is a sequel but also stands on its own. The quest involved is the same as in the original--Alejandro is looking for love, a love so perfect that he will literally fly away. When he thinks he has found it in the form of a high-wire artist, he might have to reconsider, since his love wants more than he perhaps should give. Bordering on magical realism, El Lado oscuro del corazón 2 is a mytho-poetical look at life and love that will stay with you for weeks afterward. Know what else will stay with you? Sandra Ballesteros’s lovely lappables, that’s what. Check ‘em out as she makes out with a dude in her bedroom.
