Review of Law of Desire

Law of Desire (1987)
8/10
'La ley del deseo' (LAW & DESIRE) was the 6th film from ALMODAVAR
9 December 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Pedro Almodavar today is considered one of the major directors & screenplay and story writers.

Law & Desire was only his sixth film effort.

This early effort (1987) was & still is an ADULT NC 17 rated film. The sex scenes between the 2 MALE stars are very hot & steamy. The director is known for his very explicit sex scenes both 'hetero & homo', They are always done in good taste, I wish some other directors in current films would show such good taste & edit there steamy sex scenes in the same way that Almovadar does.

Euserbio Ponsela & Carmen Maura star as brother and sister. He is a film director who has a penchant for other males. One of which is Antonio Bandaras, both actors are very handsome etc.

We all know that Antonio now is one of Hollywood's big stars. Euserbio never made a Hollywood film BUt still is a name performer in Spain.

Carmen Maura was & still is an international STAR of high caliber.

The film is a murder mystery as well.

Almodavar's more recent film are of a much higher caliber, This however is a first rate very well acted & made film.
