I feel I must comment on the newly redone cover for the video. The original was true to the story with Mararia looking off into the distance not into eyes of the other main character, & not physically touching. It was symbolic of the two sides of a triangle, with that third very important side missing. It was true to the story which is one of unrequited love. As we all know love triangles, especially of the passionate in the extreme Latin kind, can never end well for any of the characters involved. The plot twists were not enough to keep you guessing but did keep you a bit off balance. The final denouement was not completely unexpected, understanding the hot blooded temperaments which are heavily underlined throughout. But the characters still held a somewhat cardboard feel. Not enough depth to understand what really drove them and indeed most of the town to the extremes we witness. We have to accept that for some never explained reason, they all find Mararia irresistible. She's pretty, but not that pretty. It was fairly good but could have been much better if we understood "why?" The one exception would be Iain Glen's character. You are never in doubt what motivates him. But the others, male and female leave me wondering.
