Jamón, jamón is one of my favorite Spanish movies. In my opinion it's simply a masterpiece of early 90s Spanish cinema art. It merges all aspects I appreciate in a good film: Excellent actors - Penélope Cruz's and Javier Bardem's first movies ever -, bursting sexual energy in combination of romantic relationships, an exaggerated but creative and profound story and sentimental pictures.
If you don't share this passion for Spanish movies, the exaggerations in the story line and characters and the thrilling sexuality might bother you. But still, for Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem alone it's worth to watch it.
