First time on DVD! Amantes (Lovers) is a shocking, erotic thriller - based on a sensational true crime story - from director Vicente Aranda. In 1950's Madrid, Paco is a handsome young man engaged to Trini, an innocent young woman who has amassed considerable savings for her eventual marriage. While in search of a job, Paco rents a room from Luisa, an exotic and worldly widow (Victoria Abril), and begins a torrid affair with her. Luisa's sexual hold on Paco is so strong that she soon convinces him to kill Trini, steal her money, and run off with her. But can Paco break free from her control before it's too late? The ''Lethally, deliciously erotic'' (San Francisco Chronicle) Victoria Abril (''High Heels'') stars as Luisa in this sexually-charged drama that was honored with 1991 Goya Awards for Best Film and Best Director. In Spanish with English subtitles.

THIS IS NOT THE ORIGINAL!
BUYERS BEWARE as a previous review stated. This IS NOT the original version of this movie. Large sections have been removed. And when viewing, you can be confounded as to "what just happened?" or left wondering WHY(?). Anyway, the many things that made the original amazing have been deleted from this versison. BEST TO JUST AVOID.

A sad story but well acted and scripted
A sad story but well acted and scripted. Recommend viewing for all women falling in love so to have a true understanding of the male psychology before being badly hurt..
