Jamon Jamon-1992- High Quality Page
Set in a small Spanish town on the edge of the stark Monegros Desert, "Jamón Jamón" tells the story of a tangled love quadrangle that goes spectacularly wrong. The film centers on (Penélope Cruz), a beautiful but naive young woman who works on the assembly line at a local underwear factory. She is passionately in love with José Luis (Jordi Mollà), the factory's privileged heir. The couple’s secret romance leads to pregnancy, and the hapless José Luis, in a fit of misguided honor, announces his intention to marry Silvia.
Upon release, Jamon Jamon was a box office hit in Spain but received mixed international reviews. Some critics dismissed it as softcore pornography with bad food jokes. The New York Times called it "soggy," while Roger Ebert appreciated its "unapologetic vulgarity."
