The discreet wedding of Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem

In a way, part of the image forged by the audience of its young protagonists was marked by that discovery that was ham, ham: Bardem was conceived as macarra, a sexy claw full of physical energy, just like his character, defined by Bigas Luna as "pure sex. It represents the earth, the dry, the most primitive and the real. He's a bit of a chop, but he's in great need of affection. He eats garlic all the time and works in a hams warehouse. " Penelope's character, Silvia, was a sexual icon between naive and corrompid, harassed and ignored for being poor and daughter of a prostitute but wanted for her beauty. That irresistible mixture of sweetness and apparent innocence and promises of perversion became part of Penelope's aura. It contributed to that that same year 92 Belle Epoque premiered, where Penelope was the youngest and most inexperienced of the four sisters, but ended up staying with the disputed Jorge Sanz.

Ham, ham was one of the hottest films of the year and one of the greatest successes of Spanish cinema abroad, augmented by the obvious morbid of being a work full of explicit sex and close-up plans of packages wrapped in Samson's underpants. That racial sex of Bardem and Penelope Cruz before the Osborne bull-"when we shot the plane in which Javier Bardem eats Penelope Cruz's tits, I told him that he didn't have to look sexual, that he had "and you a jamona"-in the desert of the Monegros they became a national patrimony, at the same time as the protagonists did.

Bardem tried to change the record, especially because after starring Gold Eggs also with Bigas Luna, he felt that he might be casing him in the off-radio pimp roles. In the case of Penelope, the issue was more complex as it was a very young woman, just reached the age of majority, with such a volcanic role and full of nudity. In interviews, she would say she felt damaged by the paper, stating that maybe she wasn't mature enough to play it: "I wasn't really ready to do a nude, but I Don't regret it, because I wanted to start working and changed my life," she told the Los Angeles Daily News in 1999. "I didn't get along very well," I would ratify in an interview with the Sun. "I had a strong reaction to anything sexual or sensual for a while. I cut my hair very short. I did not make love scenes, not even kisses, for years. "however, perhaps with a certain ambivalence, he never wanted to carry the inks or blame Bigas Luna, whom he always said to adore.
