I know it's Cinco de Mayo. Alas, I have no great urge to drink margaritas or eat Latin food. I can, however, tell you about a great Mexican movie. La Mujer de mi Hermano is a very stylish pelicula. It's definitely in my top five for best interiors. Mostly glass (people in glass houses...), the house and sets the film crew used are very modern and sleek with minimal decorative elements. The clothes the leading lady wears follow the same neutral-based color scheme as the interiors. Though lacking in vibrancy, the monochromatic themes allow the quality of the materials used to shine through. I think that by using mostly blacks and beige, the director allowed the viewer to focus on the characters and not so much the setting.

PS- Watch the movie alone for the very handsome Manolo Cardona and Christian Meier.
