Of Love and Shadows (1994)

Set in Chile, this is the tale of having your eyes open to the atrocities of everyday life.  Following Irene, a magazine editor, who hires a handsome photographer, Of Love and Shadows (1994), is the story of his compelling her to see, for the first time, that she is living in the shadows of an oppressive dictatorship. We at Mr. Man have an office pool going. We’re attempting to name one movie, one singular movie, Antonio Banderas isn’t shirtless or showing his backside in.  Go ahead, name one. And before you say he’s in that one animated cartoon Shreik, yes, we thought of that. But he’s wearing only boots and a hat. So he’s technically wearing even less clothes! It’s like the guy has it written into his contract to show skin. Of Love and Shadows is no exception. Antonio thrusts deep into the deep darkness that is Chile’s ruthless government.
