Synopsis

Looking for love in all the wrong places? Twirl back to 1995 Madrid where amor was all around for gay couples, lesbian parents, soccer players, men in tutus, capricious cops and a documentary filmmaker capturing kisses -- among other things -- in a romantic comedy sure to please most of the 6 billion people in the world.

Review

Turning the world on with his smile, the muy caliente Alejandro Tous stars as Gárate, an avid soccer fan who agrees to parent a child with his lover, Omar. After unsuccessful attempts to impregnate a friend, Gárate befriends a single pregnant woman who welcomes the kindness of strangers. Revolving around them are multiple passionate and lighthearted stories that include Gárate's 60-something widower father welcoming affection, a girl playing Superman hoping to turn her life around, two playful policemen eager to find a match in their lists of favorite things and a non-practicing gay guy who describes himself as "homosentimental." (And you'll pay eternally for laughing at a convincing theory that supposes God is gay and the Virgin Mary is a lesbian.) With lyrical directing, a breezy soundtrack and lots of eye candy, Spinnin' will make you dizzy with delight. And how many films have you seen that can boast over 101 different kisses?

-- Mario DiMaio

Madrid, 1995

Amos Lassen

“Spinnin” is a movie that you will not soon forget. We meet Garate and Omar in Madrid in 1995. They are gay men who are very much in love and want to have a child. Their female friends are not interested in helping them or cannot get pregnant so they look elsewhere. They meet Raquel, a young woman who is already pregnant but whose partner has succumbed to AIDS. This is the plot and it seems very simple but it is not and the movie is wonderful. It is moving and realistic and there is not one dull moment in the movie. The performances are universally excellent and the movie fills the viewer with exuberance for life.
The script is complex yet solid and the movie is, for me, at least, a portrait of the human heart. The script is both humorous and poignant as we get situations that move people. Emotions come forth throughout. I felt as if I were one of the characters—that are how much I was able to identify with what was going on.
What at first might seem quite simple actually becomes a motion picture experience replete with one of the most colorful cast of characters you will ever see.
