TOO BAD THE STORY DOESNT DESERVE 5 STARS.......2007-09-02

OVERALL A TOP NOTCH PRODUCTION.WHAT WAS A DOWNER WAS THE STORY!!!HAD SALVADOR BEEN AN IMPOSTOR OR A LONG LOST BROTHER OF ANDRES GARCIA,INSTEAD OF BEING WHAT HE TURNED OUT TO BE,THE STORY WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT.
THE TRASFORMATION OF MARIO CIMARRO FROM HIS DAYS IN "LA MUJER DE MI VIDA"TO THIS ONE IS UNBELIEVABLE:HE WENT FROM AWFUL ACTING TO VERY GOOD ONE AND FROM GEEK LOOKING TO MACHO MAN.
5 STARS TO CASTING AND PRODUCTION BUT 2 STARS TO STORY.

Cuerpo.......2007-07-03

I just loved this Spanish telenovela. I just WISH the entire series was included, not just 12 hours (90% was cut out). Too bad. I would have paid to get it in its entirety from the U.S. As it is, I'm getting it from Europe. Too bad Amazon lost a sale.

Well edited, great soundtrack, excellent quality video on the DVD........2007-05-31

1) Quality and editing:
For someone who has not watched the original version on TV this will definitely be an enjoyable and addicting story to watch (it will be very hard to stop once you start watching it!)I have to say that Telemundo/Universal is doing a much better job than Televisa in the DVD release department of "condensed telenovelas" as the editing is smoother and much more seamless.

2)Content:
I do agree with the fans that complain that too much content has been cut out. I really don't know why these multi million dollar corporations can't release larger versions without compromising the content and the story so much (cut out the excess "filler" scenes and episodes used to extend the life of a sucessful drama while it is on the air, but leave the complexity of the stories and characters intact!)

EXCELENT !.......2007-05-24

A Tragic Love Story and Foreign Film.......2007-08-12

Law of Desire [La Ley Del Deseo] is by far the most memorable foreign film I have ever seen. In part, because I was sitting in a bubble (a sterile room with filtered and purified air) with my partner of 4 1/2 years who was undergoing salvage chemotherapy for a high-grade level 5 non-Hodgkins lymphoma. I was forced into watching this movie on a television and VCR I had taken to the hospital!

This Spanish movie, which stars among others Antonio Banderas, is truly a tragic love story of the character played by Antonio Banderas' obsession for another man who he loves deeply. The movie has bizarre twists in a love quadrangle that keeps the brow raised on many occasions, and at the end, where Antonio's love is holding him in his arms and sobbing that tear-jerking sob that comes from the soul, my partner called out to me and said "I will always love you, okay?" and had stopped breathing and passed away which is why this movie is truly embedded in me forever.

An excellent drama, but be prepared with lots of tissue.

Description

Madrid intenta reparar sus cicatrices, mientras Europa resiste las convulsiones de la segunda guerra mundial. Elvira (Leonor Watling, of Pedro Almodovar's Hable Con Ella y La Mala Educación) necesita un trabajo, y lo encuentra en casa de Pablo (Leonardo Sbaraglia, Carmen; La Ciudad Sin Limites) un empresario argentino de origen alemán. Para Elvira, ese empleo representa no sólo el medio de sostener económicamente a su familia, también es una puerta a un pasado que creía perdido, un paraíso de belleza y poesía que se cerró para ella después de que los fascistas fusilaran a su padre. Fuera de esas cuatro paredes, Pablo y Elvira pertenecen a dos mundos irreconocibles, y saben que la pasión que crece entre ellos tiene los días contados. El suicidio de Hitler precipitará las cosas. Alina (Cecilia Roth, Hable Con Ella; Todo Sobre Mi Madre) presiona a Pablo para que garantice la fuga de un criminal nazi a través de España con la colaboración del gobierno de Franco. El marido de Elvira, Julio (Ernesto Alterio, El Otro Lado De La Cama), sale de la cárcel donde estaba confinado por motivos políticos, y lo intenta todo por recuperar a la mujer que ama. Incluso ponerla en peligro.

Factions and Fractions: Spain in World War II.......2007-07-15

DESEO is a strong story by Ángeles Caso brought to the screen by director Gerardo Vera with a fine cast, a story that attempts to clarify the puzzling factions in Spain of 1945 and only succeeds moderately well in allowing the viewer to understand the political machinations of a tortured Spain at war on civil as well as international grounds. The script is smart and the delivery of the various characters by a talented cast allows some insights into the dilemma that still confuses historians: more important for a film, the dimly lit fractions do supply a fine background for a love story.

In Franco's Spain there are communists, fascists, monarchists, and republicans. We meet a family once well appointed before Franco's overthrow of the monarchy (the father of the family was assassinated by Franco's soldiers): the mute mother (Rosa Maria Sardà) is tended by two daughters - Raquel (María Vázquez) and Elvira (Leonor Watling) whose husband Julio (Ernesto Alterio) is imprisoned for being a communist. Living at near poverty level after a previous life of culture, Elvira finds a job as a maid with Pablo (Leonardo Sbaraglia), a wealthy Argentinean who with his strange 'friend' Alina (Cecilia Roth) maintain undercover ties to Hitler. There is an immediate attraction between the cultured Elvira and Pablo and a love of poetry and intellectual matters soon develops into a physical relationship. Elvira struggles against falling in love as her husband is due to be released from prison, but re-entering the luxury world of her childhood, affording her the ability to make enough money to keep her mother and sister in better conditions, softens her heart and she falls in love with Pablo. Pablo is warned by Alina that their 'mission' to help Nazi officers to escape to Peron's Argentina may be hampered by Elvira's past and her political association with anti-Nazi groups. When Hitler dies and Julio is released from prison, the crises politically and emotionally reach a breaking point and as with all war stories there is no full resolution of the effects on people's lives, lives fractured by the transient factions in a country torn by disparate commitments and betrayed trusts and loves.

Despite the at times confusing progression of the plot, the presence of such superb actors as Cecilia Roth, Rosa Maria Sardà, Leonor Watling, and Leonardo Sbaraglia (complemented by minor roles by Emilio Gutiérrez, Gloria Muñoz, Jordi Bosch and Norma Aleandro) make this an involving drama. The period costuming is excellent and the musical score by Stephen Warbeck ably enhances to tense and erotic atmosphere. While not a great movie, it is certainly worth viewing for both the love story and for some further insights into Spain's political history. Grady Harp, July 07
