Our take
This prize-winning film set in the warm landscapes of La Mancha in Spain paints a feverish portrait of guilt in the face of carnal desire. Starring both established and non-professional actors, Pozoamargo is a potent enquiry on the psychological burden that sex can provoke when associated with sin.
