Passion
Two days to see, again, this powerful movie.
Yo soy la felicidad de este munro / I Am Happiness On Earth (2014)
Sort of three movies in one. Or maybe four.
And at the end it turns back on itself and begins at the beginning again.
It is a lot like those French films like La Ronde and others--50s and 60s films--that showed the cycle of love and life, going around and around.
Songs have been sung, books have been written. And, here, another movie.
I do not mean to minimize it.
I own this film and return to it every so often because it is such a luscious bath of color and action. The sex is quite near X-rated quality. Erections allowed. There are men, women, three ways, about everything but the pony. Pansexual.
I really really like this film and am happy to see it again and again.
It always has surprises, the ones I forgot and the ones that are new.
