TATAWO
2000

California Premiere
February 26, 2001

Cinequest San Jose Film Festival

Beautiful to look at in both shot selection and personnel. The lead actress (Mercedes Ortega) is incredibly beautiful and covered with tatoos and naked half the time. The bodies of all the participants are great to look at and it is sexy, but I have way more questions than answers now that I've seen it. I'm not sure about the time line. I understand it takes place in India and Barcelona. I'm not sure what the motivations were from character to character. We have piercing of every kind of body part, tatoos, sex, lesbian scenes, underage hookers, Cubans, clubs, and music, but I'm not sure we have a movie.
