Desearás al hombre de tu hermana (2017)

Desearás al hombre de tu hermana: Directed by Diego Kaplan. With Carolina Ardohain, Mónica Antonópulos, Juan Sorini, Guilherme Winter. Lucía and Ofelia, two sisters, finally meet after 7 years at Lucia’s wedding. But when Juan, Lucia’s husband, and Ofelia meet, they feel like a disruptive fantasy have enchanted their minds and bodies…

“Desire is your average melodrama: its exaggerated characters and contentious events appeal to the emotions, dramatizing a scenario surely uncommon but by no means improbable. Estranged sisters Lucia and Ofelia differ greatly in their attitudes toward sex, the degree of satisfaction sex provides each of them, and their ability and desire to please a partner. Occasional flashbacks show the havoc already wrought as the women became who they now are.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eUnexpectedly brought together at Luciau0026#39;s wedding, the sisters and the men in their lives find self-control overwhelmed by desire. Fidelity gradually goes out the window. When this is discovered, the crap hits the fan.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDesire is well acted for a melodrama, and not unbelievable, I think, even though the lifestyle in a wealthy estate is so unfamiliar. The direction left a couple of minor points unclear; that might be the result of my dependence on subtitles. And itu0026#39;s explicitly sexual, which apparently surprised or offended a number of reviewers. If this film — whose plot is all about sexual desire — had not shown strongly simulated sex, I would have felt that it failed to suspend disbelief. Desire does not, however, come even close to the u0026quot;primarily intended to arouseu0026quot; standard of pornography: itu0026#39;s just explicit enough that you know the charactersu0026#39; passions. A couple of kids riding horsie on pillows, made relevant only by the adult narrator, is hardly worthy of complaint.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWatch Desire when your brain is too tired for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but not yet jaded enough for Dirty Blondes from Beyond. Itu0026#39;s not great, but it isnu0026#39;t horrible, either.”
