Jamon Jamon

1992, Movie, 1h 35min

The pleasures of sex and food entwine to outrageous effect in this wickedly seductive, darkly surreal romance. A teenage Penélope Cruz makes a memorable film debut as Silvia, a worker in a small-town underwear factory who strikes up a relationship with the boss’s son (Jordi Mollà)—much to the horror of his mother, Conchita (Stefania Sandrelli). Determined to break up the affair, Conchita enlists Raul (Javier Bardem), a studly pork-delivery man and wannabe bullfighter, to seduce Silvia—only to fall for the hunky ham guy herself.
