La rabia (2008)
7/10
An erotic affair set in the Argentinian farm landscape
2 May 2009
A forbidden passion story happening before the eyes of children, when a married woman with a mute daughter gets into a steamy relationship with a single father of a teenage boy. The husband of the woman openly dislikes and frequently argues with the owner of the neighboring farm, unaware of her wife's affair with him.

The movie's tone is sad and lonely. Children wander alone in the vast farms, adults cannot communicate with each other and unhappiness is constantly present. The only thing they hang on to is the passionate sex they have against all odds.

The movie is fluid and well told with good directing. Half way through the movie I thought the director must be a vegetarian feminist and that normally is not something that would impress me. Even so I liked the film and it is well worth watching.
