Maria (Valverde), una ragazzina di 14 anni, è la giovane Lolita del film, che strega, senza volerlo, Pablo (Luis Tosar).
Pablo vuole rompere le scatole, per divertimento e vendetta, alla sorella di Maria, dopo uno stupido incidente stradale, e Maria appare, e lo incanta.
e Pablo non capisce più niente, vuole stare con quella ragazzina, come se lui fosse un ragazzino innamorato perdutamente.
i due diventano sempre più vicini, non possono non pensarsi, non possono non stare insieme, con tutte le precauzioni del caso, e quando il film potrebbe diventare un film lolitesco romantico stucchevole, con una virata inattesa, il film diventa una tragedia greca classica, e il dramma è servito.
grandi interpreti per un gran film.
cercatelo e soffritene tutti - Ismaele
Manuel Martín Cuenca adaptó una novela de Lorenzo Silva en esta
película que crea con estilo y mesura vínculos intensos sobre destino y
obsesión en una relación especial de edad dispar.
El film, con interpretaciones plausibles y algunos diálogos de
mérito, podría resultar un notable estudio psicológico de personaje solitario,
frustrado, desilusionado, obsesivo, pero termina siendo efectista, no
careciendo de tópicos en la caracterización de personajes y resultando escaso
en la complejidad de sensaciones que prometía su premisa.
La trama se desentiende de caracteres clave, le falta densidad
emocional e incisión en la perturbación. A pesar de ello, no resulta un film
despreciable.
Appropriately enough, from Rioja Productions comes a movie
that’s a good example of new wine in a very old bottle. Fixation of respectable
fortyish businessman on schoolgirl after coup de foudre love-at-first-sight.

askew. Tragic consequences for all concerned. American
Beauty scenario Tosars Pablo even plays loud rock in his car,
looks a little like Spacey from certain angles. Twists : (1) he’s not married.
(2) he’s not especially sympathetic (dog-faced Tosar also looks a little like
Ross Kemp). Something of a creepy pervert when he loses his self-control. (3)
Shes more than a match for him. The Bolsheviks weakness was for a pretty face,
and Valverde shows real star quality in debut role (justifies the and
presenting credit among opening titles that’s usually a reliable kiss of death
to a young career.) Hes a bit of a blank, but she’s luminous: something of a
young Kate Winslet, with fiery Winona Ryder eyes blazing when she’s roused.
Lifts movie whenever she’s on screen, which isn’t enough. Unhurried movie, many
longing looks accompanied by melancholy piano. Uncluttered visuals in
character-study two-hander. Somewhat underpowered, though this is really
setting us up for the violent finale (his comeuppance?) all the more jarring/numbing.
In retrospect, occasionally daft convolutions of plot have in fact been part of
a noirish inevitability. Nothing amazing, but does what it does pretty well.
