Apparently you think Mexican and Spanish are the same thing.

 

[Mario Gauci]

In order of merit:


1.Live Flesh (1997) ***
2.Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (1988) ***
3.Volver (2006) ***
4.Bad Education (2004) ***


I also have ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER (1999) and TALK TO HER (2002) on VHS which, given that they are arguably his most acclaimed movies, probably indicates that I find him overrated as a film-maker and too one-sided as an artist (what with all the recurring inferences to the gay subculture).

The plot reminded me of the Mexican soap operas I saw while sitting in a hotel room south of the border. And amazingly, all the actors were speaking Spanish in both cases.
