FREE ON CINEGEEK.De Bigas Luna - Jamon Jamon 

This is the funniest and most malicious comedy from Spain ever! Bigas Luna made Jamon Jamon in a time when people still took risks. Eyes closed and through - no matter if the audience goes along with it. The anarcho message of Jamon Jamon is: We may understand sex as a summary of all that is ridiculous in human nature. The film is set somewhere in the south of Spain, in the countryside. The focus is on the richest local family. They make underwear. The underwear is also the symbol of the city. You can see them on a billboard from afar. And of course the obligatory Spanish bull. Then Jose Luis, the son of the underwear family, falls in love with the sensual Silvia. She is the daughter of Carmen, who runs the local brothel. Jose's mother Conchita sees her son already before the altar with the daughter of a whore. She decides to take matters into her own hands to prevent this horror. Her tool: Raul, who works in the local ham factory. Raul is supposed to seduce Silvia to prevent the wedding. By the way, Raul also works as an underwear model for Conchita - and loves ham. The plot thickens. Sexually frustrated Conchita begins an affair with Raul, while Jose has been having a relationship with Silvia's mother for a long time. Carmen warns Jose; if he marries Silvia, she never wants to see him again... Although it is understandable in itself: Since Silvia is still a virgin, Jose has to fulfill his needs discreetly with his mother. Business is business. And there's so much more! Garlic and Silvia's breasts form one unit. Or naked bullfighting. And pigs. Because correctly translated Jamon Jamon means ham ham. Bigas Luna turns it into a lurid melodrama with deep romance and wicked satire. A telenovela, but full of sex. Penelope Cruz plays Silvia; her current husband Javier Bardem Raul. If you think that Jamon Jamon is a single impertinence, then you are right. If you find him insulting, then you're just as right. Tasteless and vulgar? Also. Jamon Jamon goes beyond the boundaries of what is possible in the cinema.
