Peppermint Frappe

Buy This Item Peppermint Frappe by Homevision  Available from Amazon  $29.95  on 11-14-2008     Carlos Saura's (<I>Cria!</I>, <I>Carmen</I>) first commercial success in Spain, <I>Peppermint Frappe</I> radiates the influence of Surrealist director Luis Buñuel. The eerie story of a bachelor obsessed with his friend's wife explores the fierce conflict between repressive religious upbringing and sexual desire. Julian, a respected doctor devoted to the Catholic Church, and Pablo, a free spirit caught up in the modern ways quickly engulfing traditional Spain, are distinct opposites. When Julian meets Pablo's bride Elena, he imagines that she is the mysterious woman he had seen beating a drum at a Holy Week ritual, then attempts to transform his nurse Ana into a second Elena. This mesmerizing mixture of reality, illusion, and memories stars Jose Luis Lopez Vazquez (<I>The Garden of Delights</I>) as Julian and Geraldine Chaplin (<I>Cria!</I>) as both the temptress Elena and the shy Ana. Reader Reviews Ditto 100% to the February 7, 2000, review. I bet our tapes show wear in the same exact place where we rewatched and rewatched and rewatched that wonderful, exhilirating scene. The music, the atmosphere - amazing! The whole movie is a must.
