I have just seen this movie, and let me tell you it's a very interesting proposition.
First, you have to be aware that it's not your standard Mexican melodrama and it's not intended to be a realist film. It plays with the viewer using several interesting techniques - dubbing, B/W photography, strategically placed fades. If you intend to see it as a realistic picture, you won't like it. Like many wonderful movies, it should be seen as a world on its own.
Cinematography is wonderful. Music is so-so.
I don't want to spoil too many details about the plot, but let's say it's "De Sade's Justine meets Nabokov's Lolita"
