This member is referring to the film formally titled 'Burnt Knees' or 'Rodillas Quemadas' as it was originally titled in Spanish.
At one time we had a thread for that film [a remake/revamping of the 'Turn of the Screw' theme] , but the OP, in a childish, vindictive fit, decided to delete it.

I enjoyed the movie, but I'll have to agree to disagree with the 'shitting' and 'jaw-dropping'.
While the young actors were beautiful and at times breath-taking, Ivan used a good portion of the film to push his particular agenda. To the point that the film got a bit didactic, which detracted from my completely being taken with this movie. (As well as the horrendous subtitles.)
It IS, however, well worth the wait with an enjoyable mix of humor, sensuality, mystery and dread.

I'm looking forward to seeing how well it's received at the festivals. (Perhaps, one day, it might even get it's own thread again here at FLM...)
kev.
