I agree with what's already been said about 'Daniel y Ana', but I gave it one extra star, as I find it truly daring how the director treated this subject in a non-exploitative manner, and at the same time allowing a buñuelesque reading (hidden desires, etc.) of one of the main characters' bizarre behaviour.

Based on the true story of a brother and sister carjacked and forced to have sex with each other on camera to feed the underground porn market. Shame keeps them silent as they attempt to come to terms with what happened. Great premise that deserved more than a one dimensional look at post traumatic stress. The film really lags after the event and only seems to get moving in the last 20 mins. 2 stars.

Bienintencionada,sin duda.Sin embargo,esta denuncia en contra de la pornografia clandestina y de las consecuencias sentimentales y psicologicas que acarrea hacia sus victimas,en este caso,una pareja de hermanos,se siente forzada,superficial, y lo peor,deja muchos cabos sueltos. Sin embargo,su buena factura permite recomendarla. Haberla visto en el Cinemex Antara debiò darle un valor participe/turistico al asunto.
