Three flatmates in Mexico City face uncertainties: Lucía who has a great job as an art director for TV commercials is abusing alcohol and cocaine.
She risks losing her job, going to prison for assault, and she's woefully in love with a bullfighter who may be two-timing her.
Carmen, an artist without income, can be manic - snorting lots of cocaine and hanging out with a gay man and a transvestite.
What's her future? Hanna contemplates divorce from Abraham, a wealthy momma's boy, and she's disoriented by feelings of attraction to Sandra, a customer at her jewelry store.
Can any of these poor little rich girls sort things out in a world of excess?
Even though, after watching its trailer, I thought this movie would be a strong portrait of self-destruction motivated by the consumerist world we live in, I ended up being rather disappointed, for the only thing I found, was either an erotic film, or a one-episode soap opera with lots of explicit but pleasurable sex scenes, which does not help at all to reflect the pain and the anguish the terribly built characters were going through.After having watched Salò, I understood the absolute need to show hard to watch scenes in order to make the audience understand the situations a character is going through, but in this film, I found Emmanuelle-like sex that didn't contribute to create an atmosphere of decay, but actually made me think some viewers might get aroused when watching it.
Sex, drugs, and rock and roll have all been easy draws to a film. This one opens with some hot steamy sex (and drugs) between Lucia (Ana de la Reguera - Cop Out) and a bullfighter (Alejandro Nones).
I just saw the movie and I have to say that it is the most grotesque, bad and raunchy movie I've ever seen. They try to shock the audience with their sex scenes, the drug abuse and violence.
This was by far the best film that I have seen in 2007 and 2006. The stroyline is incredible, and does an amazing job on bringing up issues that are simply a all encompassing part of our lives.
To the reviewer who said this was an accurate depiction of drug and alcohol addiction - WRONG! First of all, one character quits cocaine and alcohol cold turkey and has NO withdrawal symptoms.
Super sexy Ana de la Reguera can't save this movie from sinking. The story is too lame and personal that maybe the director/writer wrote it when she was 14.
It is by far the worst movie I've ever seen. The acting is terrible, the story is grotesque and pretty unreal and they try to get our attention by displaying pornographic images all the time.
I thought twice about to write this comment, but since I have wasted my time watching that rubbish I decided to get something worth from it. Well lets take it straight ahead, would you like to see some sex scenes?
Así del precipicio is a Mexican movie that stars Ana de la Reguera,Ingrid Martz and Gabriela Platas.The movie chronicles the experiences of three women who are struggling to find their place in the world despite having lives packed with love, lust and wealth.
