Perdona bonita, pero Lucas me quería a mí
Perdona bonita, pero Lucas me quería a mí (English title: "Excuse Me Darling, But Lucas Loved Me") is a film directed by Dunia Ayaso and Félix Sabroso in 1997. The film was considered an ensemble comedy in which the characters involved in the plot were taken to the extreme as far as stereotypes are concerned. This caused some criticism that it exaggerated accused gay characters, to which the directors responded that also heterosexual characters were exaggerated, and based on
to a New York Times review. "Más que amor, frenesí" brought Bardem, Albacete and Menkes a Goya Award nomination for Best Newcomer Director.
The cast also includes many of Spain's top young actors, including early appearances by Penélope Cruz (Vanilla Sky), Javier Bardem (Before Night Falls) and Bibi Andersen (Kika) as a high-class lesbian pimp. It is set in Madrid. The film is similar in plot to "Perdona bonita, pero Lucas me quería a mí" released in
