This is a film whose plot intrigues to nearly an excessive extent, but you can't complain of mild-overcomplexity when films are so often void of this quality. As the the film progresses, by surprising plot-driven action rather than as the natural reactions of characters whom the viewer 'understands', sex is presented as the source of all love, desire, angst and jealousy. Madrid is portrayed in beautiful cityscape shots, and the cinematography is awesome in its exploration of the characters as well. In all, a stunning film, with more emphasis on plot than characters, but that does not demean the value of its ideas.
