Ateme! (Tie me up! Tie me Down!)


My love for Spanish cinema only strengthens after watching Tie me up! Tie me down! this week -

weird, kitsch and quirky - anti feminist and completely LAUGH OUT LOUD.

You wouldn't have thought a hot Antonio Banderas (or as I now like to affectionately call him - Anto Bando)
playing a outpatient from mental institution could be funny.


The back cover genuinely reads 'Ricky is released from a mental hospital and knows exactly what he wants to do with his life, and his new found freedom. He hunts down Marina, a porn film star he once had sex with and tries to convince her to be his wife. She is a bit reluctant, so Ricky ties her up until she falls in love with him...
If you are intrigued by films that are Hitchcock- esk or anything that caused Americans to be outraged because of the content then you'll like it. Styling is ace aswell.
