"Love Can Seriously Damage Your Health"
1996
Directed by Manuel Gomez Pereira

Penelope Cruz headlines the cast in this sophisticated Spanish romantic comedy. The film follows 30 years in an on-again, off-again affair that begins when Diana, a devoted fan of the Beatles, seduces shy bellboy Santi so that she can sneak into John Lennon's Madrid hotel room. Decades later, Diana and Santi remain involved, and an event at the same hotel sheds new light on their relationship. Also starring Ana Belen, Juanjo Puigcorbe and Gabino Diego. Spanish with English subtitles.  120 minutes.
