" The movie -- Sexo por Compasion -- is outstanding. It's out on DVD recently, made in 2000. The film-maker turns a lot of ideas upside down. Can a person be too good? Is sex only for pleasure or passion? Can a married woman have sex with other men without being unfaithful? And where does the church and faith stand in all of these issues? (Since it's Spanish, the Catholic church and its trappings have a role, of course.) Can married women see that it might be a good thing for their husbands to have sex with another woman? What does sex mean anyway? I have to say that I am glad that women have been able to become movie makers; they have a different sensibility; this film illustrates a non-male mind at work, but my male friend found it powerful and provocative. This film drifts from black and white to color as "Pleasantville" did, though the shift is about joy and understanding more than it is about wisdom and knowledge and sexuality. Even though sex plays a central role, there is no bed nudity. It is very intellectually stimulating -- unlike so many American movies. "
