What is the difference between sex and love?
What is the difference between sex and love? There are many reviews that detail, in an equisite fashion, the story, the actors and information about the movie. But this is the general question.Can men sleep with multiple partners but love only one woman? This is like the Madonna/Whore syndrome. Teresa was the Madonna, the only man she ever slept with was Tomas. Then there was Sabina - she was Tomas' lover before and after his marriage to Teresa. But Sabina and Tomas were alike, irrespective of their gender differences.There is one scene which took place when Tomas, Teresa and Sabina became ex-patriates in Switzerland. Teresa came to Sabina's studio/home. Teresa became sensitized to the fact that Tomas had been with Sabina - while Teresa is taking pictures of Sabina, tears roll down Teresa's face. Sabina takes the camera and starts taking pictures of Teresa. She makes Teresa take off her clothes. Eventually they end up on the floor - if Sabina's Swiss lover had not come in, I think that Sabina would have made love to Teresa in a soft, gentle way. But the innocent Teresa jumped up, naked, to run away as she became aware of her nakedness.I like movies about human nature and interactions. This movie pulls one into a story and makes one forget their surroundings. I feel that is a mark of a good storymaker.
