Movie Connections:

Remade as Sexo, Amor e Traição (2004)

A good movie for pass the time.

"Sexo, pudor y lagrimas" shows a very clear vision of the reality of the life, without a doubt very its a very good mexican movie. Its have a great script, very clear and simple, the actors have a great personality and its a well done movie. I think that the only "bad point" of the movie its the overactuation of the actors, outside that, is quite recommendable for one night without nothing to do. A great advantage is the excellent music of Alek Syntek, highly recommendable.
