Vicente Aranda show us another example of his bizarre "obssexions", this time based in a novel of Antonio Gala. The story of a wild exotic macho who drives a tourist into a self destructive circle of violence, prostitution and sodomy. Ana Belen shows her mature beauty and is gorgeous in this film but is not the best actress for the character, a woman who finds a gigantic phallus attached to a rough man in a trip to Turkey. Georges Corraface is bad as usually, I do not understand why this man can earn money acting, he is the worst turkish actor I have ever seen. The film has some disgusting scenes like the bullet-in-the-balls one or the bus sex, a bad example of dirty and unconfortable sex, but what is really annoying is the fact that the romeo is the typical macho rejected by all modern women. Some supporting actors are laxative like Francis Lorenzo. Despite Ana Belen´s anatomy the film is bad, very, very, bad. I warn you.

In the Spain ruled by Franco a group of women form a football team, with this plot one can imagine the film, but is worse. For the director, the film was another opportunity to show actress legs and to stress that Spanish women were only for cooking and not very much. Of course this film was played in 'Cine de Barrio'. Please do not watch it! Spain is not like this!

Perhaps is one of the most famous TV series in Spain, not only it is a good one, but also it has been almost every summer since 1978 on TV1. I have seen Chanquete´s death 4 times and I will remember the song until I die (Del barco de Chanquete, no nos moverán...). Some of the boys are now unknown people (or even some are death) but Ferrandis and Garralón are now famous actors. If you are not Spanish you should take a look at it, but remember, in 1978 we were not a modern country.
