You won't be disappointed!

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Nine-year-old Tete (Biel Duran) has a problem any older brother can relate to . The child cannot stand the idea of having a new brother and dreams about drinking milk from the breasts of his mother again . As the family's new arrival has replaced him at his mummy's (Laura Maña) breast . The boy asks and invokes the moon to bring him a tit only for him . Then , an imposing woman called Estrellita (Mathilda May) , a Gallic performer , comes in and he falls in love for her . However , his adolescent brother (Miguel Poveda) already his eyes on her . While the gorgeous lady herself seems sweet on her stage colleague Maurice (Gerard Darmon). The whole issue being unified by the scene of the tit suckling one and all . Typical and stirring Bigas Luna picture filled with strange happenings , twisted events , erotic scenes and surrealist images . This attractive as well as erotic story is a passionate retelling and an ironical story about a dreamer kid in which his short age doesn't avoid to follow his impossible dream . Full of visual images , fetishism and wonderful scenes , but including bad taste and strong sex scenes with loads of female nudism . Third part of Bigas Luna's "Iberian Trilogy" also adding Jamón, Jamón and Golden eggs . The first installment ¨Jamon , Jamon¨¨ concerns on satiric machismo in which a ¨macho man¨ falls in love for a lower-class girl ; ¨Huevos De Oro¨ dealt with a mean young attempts to build the great phallic symbol of power , at whatever cost ; while ¨The tit and the moon¨ director Bigas Luna adopts a more reflective approach . It's more sympathetic , gentler piece than its immediate predecessors . Filmmaker Luna sets up symbolic opposition between sexual experience of the various males and their excessive youth . In the flick we find brief description about several Catalan habits such as : human castles , Bread with tomato , Barretinas , Sardana music , among others . This Spanish picture is an enjoyable tale with a thought-provoking characterizing about a few characters , compelling drama and colorful outdoors . It is an overblown as well as strange drama , including surrealist elements , being screen-written by the same filmmaker along with his usual screen-writer Cuca Canals . Director Bigas Luna also writes the script filmed in his usual formal and stylistic scholarship , without leaving a trace the brooding issues , in terms of dramatic and narrative excitement . However , the film's essential problem is its failure to generate the sort of pace drive that would forge its metaphoric patterns into interesting drama . The storyline relies heavily on the continued dreams of the starring , including a lot of sexual scenes , almost softcore , but it doesn't make boring , however the film is entertaining . In spite of , the movie results to be acceptable and compellingly realized . Bigas carries out a perfect imaginary , a willingness almost perfect of the elements of each shot , every sequence, every space . Good acting by quartet protagonist , all of them give fine performances , such as Biel Duran as likable child who must invoke the moon for a new tit to call his own ; Miguel Poveda as a sex-crazed teenager usually singing Andalucian songs and Gerard Darmon as anguished romantic performer , his interpretation is genuinely moving . And special mention to Mathilda May, she is marvelous and charming with her sweet and enjoyable countenance and appealing body . Sensitive as well as evocative musical score by Nicola Piovani who won Academy Award for ¨Life is beautiful¨. Furthermore , a colorful and evocative cinematography by Jose Luis Alcaine who was first cinematographer to use fluorescent tube as "key" lightning and deemed to be one of the best Spanish cameraman . Alcaine frequently works with Pedro Almodóvar , Bigas Luna and Vicente Aranda , as he has photographed ¨The skin I live in¨ , The bad education¨ , ¨Volver¨ , ¨Women in the verge of a nervous breakdown¨, among others . Here he shows splendidly the impressive landscapes from Cataluña.The motion picture was stunningly directed by Bigas Luna , but somehow it's the disturbing as well as shocking of dream-sequence lactation on the end that still succours the strongest and rarest impression. Luna follows his particular style , plenty of sex , food references and surrealist homages including some abstract dream sequences . Bigas Luna was born on March 19, 1946 in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain as Josep Joan Bigas Luna . He was a Bon Vivant who along with his wife, produced wine, ham, and organic products ; they are well shown in his films . He was a writer and director, known for ¨Jamón, Jamón¨ (1992), ¨Huevos de Oro¨ or ¨Golden eggs¨ (1993) "The Chambermaid on the Titanic" , ¨Angustia¨ or ¨Anguish¨ (1987) , this ¨The tit and the moon¨ , ¨Volaverunt¨ , ¨Yo soy La Juani¨, ¨Di , Di Hollywwod¨ among others . He's also an expert on murky atmosphere such as proved in ¨Caniche¨ , ¨Tatuaje¨, ¨Bilbao¨ , ¨Anguish¨ and ¨Reborn¨. Luna discovered actors Ariadna Gil, Leonor Watling , Javier Bardem and Penélope Cruz . He sadly died recently on April 6, 2013 in Tarragona, Catalonia . This film ¨La Teta Y La Luna¨ is stylishly photographed and smartly designed and here Bigas Luna delivers his ordinary and erotic goods with nice sense of style . The picture will appeal to Mathilda May fans and Bigas Luna buffs.

La Teta i la Luna (The Breast and the Moon) describes the life of a 9-10 year old boy named Tete who is obsessed with breasts growing up in Catalunya. I love this movie because the characters are very honest and very human, like all the characters in Bigas Luna's movies (also director of Jamon, Jamon). Tete reminded me of how intriguing and exciting life can be at that age. Also being from Catalunya (North-east of Spain) it brought lots of memories to my mind. This movie shows how beautiful Catalunya is, nice people, nice life and specially lots of non-uptight people.

This is actually one of my favorite films, I would recommend that EVERYONE watches it. There is some great acting in it and it shows that not all "good" films are American....
