Mancora [DVD]

This is one of the best films I have seen in the last ten years. It is a generation x and y classic love triangle, that deals with suicide, depression, inappropriate behavior in a marriage, and cultural differences.

There are several explicit sex scenes in Máncora that I personally enjoyed; and at the beginning of the movie, I really thought I had a winner in artistic terms as well. From the picture and summary on the DVD cover, I quickly realized that during an excursion to a Peruvian beach resort, Santiago would have sex with his sister-in-law, Ximena. I imagined that the movie might explore the moral and psychological consequences of this "boundary-crossing and betrayal."To a certain extent, there was such an exploration, but the narrative thread of Máncora just went too limp in the movie's middle. Instead of concentrating on the triad of Santiago-Ximena-Iñigo, there were numerous scenes that really took the film nowhere and dissipated the dramatic tension.I don't consider Máncora a bad movie; but for anyone with limited viewing time, there are much better Spanish-language films to be seen.

great movie so worth the purchase

Hot! film. Reminded me a little of the film, "Y Tu Mama Tambien", with the actors: Gael Garcia Bernal, Diego Luna, and Maribel Verdu. See the scenery on the road trip and life at the beach town of Mancora. Lust, loss, and redemption.

Watched it twice; anticipating our trip to Mancora last month.

Dont buy this movie...it is really stupid......what a waste of time and money of making this film..

Good quality!

It was a good movie worth watching, It had many twists.I liked the acting of the heroine and the beautiful beaches in the movie. And it was delivered in time.
