Maria 03/21/2022 I loved the introductory speech that gave us a sense of what to expect from the movie. Even though it is 30 years old the symbology and themes are still a part of our every day lives. A must see movie!

José Louis loves Silvia, but his mother, unhappy with this relationship, asks Raúl to seduce Silvia while she,in turn, seduces Raúl.

This movie is not only full of toxic masculinity but also female characters obviously written by a man.

See more 12/31/2014 All I can say is that if this is anything to go by, then the Spanish sense of humour is very different to mine. There are some great performances in the film, in fact, the whole cast (lead by Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem) are very good but my, is this an odd film. It's a bizarre tale of sex, jealousy and pork that I think has a potentially good, if twisted plot hidden in there. Sadly, this just doesn't shine through and many of the scenes are jarring and unnatural. The convoluted plot of the love triangles that exist between two families, one wealthy, one poor has some very dark and twisted moments and some that are completely unexplored. I can't, for example, for the life of me fathom why Bardem and his best friend feel it necessary to go an fight a bull naked in the middle of the night. It's a scene that just seems plonked in the middle oft he action with no real consequence. Maybe I'm missing the point but I'm afraid Jamón Jamón didn't really do much for me and certainly didn't make me laugh enough. See more Read all reviews
