Cuerpos ardientes

and once you've accepted that then you are fine. Acting as a curtain between scenes are cuts to a camera zooming over a bayou. That said, this is one of my favourite films.

Erotic though it is not. The main topic of the film may be sex but this is more of a psychological exploration than a bit of light porn. If you have rented this film for a night of risqué entertainment then I can see why you might be bored but this would be a problem of marketing more than anything else.

The acting is excellent - especially the scenes between Dunaway, Elliot (it was one of his last films), Jones and Tilly. The music is great as well.

Of course my family crawled from the bayous themselves so that would explain some of my affection for the film but I still highly recommend that everyone see this at least once just for the scene in the local bar which is brilliant. No explosions or special effects but just some really well crafted dialogue being delivered by some very good actors.

This movie is a coming of age story that speaks of bayou life. Nothing like feeling at ease in ya own skin and while watching this movie I felt like I was home on the Mississippi and ready to eat dirty rice and then dance the night away while eating crawdads and drinking shirley temples. You want a small catch in the bayou ways, watch dis here movie, 'cause I tell you what I say, dis one is true true good. I miss my slang country, my small swamp, my childhood in the tall pines and the thick oaks. This movie always take me home. Denholm elliot is very very funny. Jennifer tilly has the perfect smoky voice for her role, and Faye Dunaway has sweet charisma.

As pointed out above, the interplay between Denholm Elliott and James Earl Jones is a small masterpiece. It is Leland Crooke as the father of the bride who steals the whole show --- wondered why he was not in more movies and found that he appears to play this same character no matter what movie he is in and Cajun Fathers-of-the-Bride are probably not being cast all that often. However, the parson, and Tilly as the cuckolded wife give some of those actors best performances as well.

Get another movie enthusiast and settle down for a terrific evening.

I have this movie on LaserDisc but have never seen in available on DVD. If you have a source, I would tell friends.

I've held Scorchers as my favorite movie since it came out in 1991. I was only 13 at the time of it's release and I have held it dear to me for fourteen years.I adapted the script for the stage as an educational project in 1999 to earn my directing degree. I know every word from every character and I still feel deeply moved and laugh heartily with every screening. The tone and rhythm of the language alone is worth the time. Characters have depth and simplicity, acting is detailed, with subtle moments carefully placed. Direction is fantastic: it's laden with great cinematography and extensive brilliance in regard to honesty, authenticity and commitment. Be ready to experience the hunger of life!

Thank you Kalina, (above). This is a great movie. It is about the discovery of life and meaning. The father, Jumper has become a favorite of mine as he takes his daughter through a grief process worthy of any psychologist. The interplay of the lives of people in a small town, and their discoveries of who they can be is a model for anyone who feels stuck or trapped. The humor is wonderful, the acting of James EArl Jones, Denholm Elliot, Emily Lloyd, Leland Crooke, and Faye Dunaway is beyond compare. I guess if you didn't like this movie, you just don't know how to go around corners. Too bad!!
