Formerly known
as "The Madonna
of Madrid," Penélope
Cruz
turned from beautiful ballerina to buxom film star in the Spanish-lensed
international arthouse smash Jamón,
jamón
(1992). Other European hits followed, and Pen made the leap to
Hollywood with Woman
on Top
(2000), followed by All
the Pretty Horses
(2000) and Captain
Corelli's Mandolin
(2001). Vanilla
Sky
(2001) is director Cameron
Crowe's
remake of the Spanish sci-fi mind and wad blower Obre
las ojas
(1997). Penélope starred in both versions, but she took up
with Vanilla
guy Tom
Cruise
in one of the least-wondered about Hollywood couplings in recent years. |

Spain is a
great place to indulge the appetites, whether for food or super-fine
representations of the feminine form. Jamón,
jamón
(1992) is subtitled "A Tale of Ham and Passion," but it
might more aptly be referred to as "the movie where the
splendidly full and sloping, caramel-tan breasts of sultry vixen Penelope
Cruz
pass repeated taste tests." Jamón,
jamón’s
story revolves around the soap opera dramatics between the owners,
floor workers and product models of a factory that makes upscale
underwear. Expect a dash of farce, a pinch of drama and several
squeezes of pants-off passion. |
