75The sexy, psycho Mad Love is like a Spanish "The Story of Adele H.," in which a woman loves once and only once, to the point of self-destruction, in the days before Prozac.
-
60At heart it's a randy, oversexed soap opera in period garb.
-
60Lavishly costumed and shot largely on location, the film benefits from a phenomenal central performance by Lopez de Ayala.
-
