Heavenly
Today's Spanish film is one of the few I have seen that celebrate bi-sexuality.
To that extent it is a rare bird, indeed.
El sexo de los ángeles / The Sex of Angels (2012)
It is also a film about a triangle, in this case two boys and one girl.
It is very good.
I have seen it a number of times and can testify to its hold on the viewer. It is hot; no doubt that helps. But, I think that it is quite realistic.
I had fantasies about threesomes for a long time. Perhaps still have a lingering yen.
We did try them out. The usual complaint about threes is that there is always one person left out. This is not my experience but it does add the probability of disfunction just because it is three different views of a situation.
In the end of this film we see that there is some conflict about priorities, three strong wills. But it is danced of as the ending of the film. I am not sure that they will be able to dance it off as time goes by but they are young and there are a lot of people in Barcelona who would probably be happy to step in. These are very good looking, sweet personalities. Easy to love.
A 5 out of Netflix5.
