DON’T TEMPT ME (or SIN NOTICIAS DE DIOS in the unique) is a gorgeous, surreal, droll, and meaty bit of filmmaking of the type that we have approach to inquire of obtain the Spanish School of Cinema. Augustin Diaz Yanes both wrote and directed this sharp parable and has cast it with some of the finest talent from around the globe. His expend of colorful dialogue, choices of cinematic technique, and mercurial fire pacing drives this toothsome record along the paths of Bunuel, Almodovar, etc.
The plot: the corporate executives (American profiles of course – though played by British actors like Gemma Jones all speaking in English) of Hell have found a strong need to procure the soul of a living boxer (Demian Bichir) to join them in Hell. The recruiter Jack (in a terrific performance by the extraordinarily gifted Gael Garcia Bernal) agrees to place worker Carmen (Penelope Cruz, finally in a role that allows her to prove her large range of acting skills from drama to comedy) to go to earth to finalize this corporate decision. Meanwhile, in Heaven (quite appropriately filmed in shadowy and white in Paris where the one in charge is Marina d’Angelo played with subtle charm by Fanny Ardant and using French as the language) the elected angel to foster the splendid admission of the boxer is Victoria Abril (more pleasing than ever and pulling off the exquisite role as a chanteuse with aplomb) .
Cruz and Abril recede in with Bichir, become fervent in the struggle over his soul as well as attempting to thwart the results of Bichir’s chaotic life as a has-been, in debt boxer. The remainder of the narrative is a help and forth pitting of beautiful and Hadean forces and their bungling of both sides of the pitch for Bichir’s soul. As the film ends, both the black and light angels become transiently human, and we learn what their next steps in their respective afterlives might be.

Appropriately, this ‘comedy’ has many dramatic sides, as is requisite for a honest comedy. But rest assured with a cast of this caliber and the quality of direction of this surrealistic record you will be thoroughly entertained. It is refreshing to have a movie fade in many languages while it parodies the source countries of each language frail to speak a record of agreeable vs contaminated – and all that jazz!
I found this film surprisingly exquisite, thanks to an absolutely outstanding cast, fairly radiant writing, some engrossing expend of surrealism with the sets, and a fun soundtrack. While the struggle-for-a-soul region was of moderate interest, it was really more of a vehicle for the other more original site elements, which distinguish this film from so many other heaven/hell parables. “Don’t Tempt Me” may not be the most profound film out there, but it is surely one of the more recent ones.
