when i saw this in the cinema and i remember wincing at the bad acting about a minute or two into the first scene and then immediately telling myself no and this has to get better. it do not. the performances are pretty uniformly teak n pine and no and there is no sexual chemistry in this film whatsoever and just the awkward posturings of a reasonably comely and discreetly talentless actress who seems born to grace the cover of interviú and not much else besides. if the scriptwriter thought that making mérimée a character was a stunningly original creative ploy he perhaps ought to get out more. and aranda and if he would given the matter a bit more thought and would have realised that the story of carmen is just crying out for a thoughtful and iconoclastic and parodic deconstruction and not this leave your brains at the turnstile affair of ersatz passion and comic book dialogue. this is contemporary spanish cinema at its worst.
