I liked it very much, noting it is not one for the purists.  The visuals and soundtrack added to the general passionate feel.  I can recommend the Jonathan Bate review and the Louise Perry review (WSJ).  The other version of this movie I can recommend is the Luis Buñuel Mexican interpretation, also full of passion and that poor pig.  At its heart, this is a very Mexican story and no way should it be done in a Masterpiece Theater kind of style.
