Amar a Morir (Mexican/Spanish) 2009 ***
Love Til Death
NOMINATED, Best Director-Film (Lebrija), Imagen Foundation Awards
WINNER, Best Spanish Language Film (Lebrija), Santa Barbara International Film Festival
Directed by Fernando Lebrija
Starring José María de Tavira, Martina García, and Alberto Estrella
The young Alejandro (de Tavira) wants no part of the life his powerful businessman father has planned for him. He leaves Mexico City and ends up in the tiny seaside town of Ocelotitl. There he meets the beautiful Rosa (García) and falls in love.
For two entertaining hours, the film alternates between the budding romance of the charismatic couple and exciting action scenes as they try to escape the vicious clutches of The Tiger (Estrella), a wealthy man who controls the lives of the town’s citizens.
Highly recommended.
120 min. Rated R (violence and adult themes).
