Am I not convinced this is the wrong kind of love? Is that why I put "" to the word? Or am I just giving you the reader (and possible viewer) the opportunity to give your take and moral compass on it. Also there are worse things than the "love" part - included in this movie too.
But let's take this from the start, yes the movie has a theme that is sensible to say the least. Do not expect this to be too graphic though. There are other sources where you'll find more exciting content, if that is what you're looking for. Still we do see and hear things that some sensible people may find disturbing. Overall the dramatic part is well thought of and the movie moves along nicely. Things happen more or less as expected. What I do miss though is not the nudity, but the better display of psychological impact this has on the characters. Not to mention a bit of convenient incident that "resolves" the issue (not saying in what way) ... so this is decent - well not in that way of course or pun very much intended. Good intentions - I think the puns are there whether I would mean to say them or not

Brotherly love (the "wrong" kind)
Hitchcockian Elements In This Film
"Demonios tus ojos" (English Translation: Damn Your Eyes) a.k.a "Sister of Mine" is a Colombian-Spanish film starring Ivana Bacquero and Julio Perillan. It tells the story of Oliver,a film director who has lived in the United States, who decides to return to Madrid to visit her half-sister Aurora after seeing her in a porn website.
This film directed by Pedro Aguilera touches on the subjects of incest,voyeurism and perversion.The viewer will probably get to question their morality and their taboos as well as their limit to sexual desire.No question that some will be fascinated by it especially the younger viewers. But nevertheless,the screenplay feels lacking in its insight from the psychological point of view especially with the characters of Aurora and Oliver.
Evidently,this film has features of Hitchcockian elements from the legendary director's films such as the 1958 film "Vertigo" and the 1954 film "Rear Window". So there is basically nothing original here except a feature of how much the standard of morality has degraded in the last decades since those films were shown. What saved this film from being an average movie is the performances of Bacquero and Perillan.
Incest and voyeurism is laid out for all to see in this intense drama
A filmmaker (Julio Perillán) discovers one day that his younger half-sister, Aurora (Ivana Baquero) has appeared in a porn clip he sees online and becomes fascinated by her. He sets up a camera in Aurora's bedroom to spy on her before he begins to seduce the girl and eventually the two enter into a sexual relationship.
Uncomfortable viewing that delves into the dark corners of incest and voyeurism that overrides morals, resulting in flashes of such Hitchock films as REAR WINDOW (1954) and VERTIGO (1958) springing to mind.
What is more surprising which will leave the viewer questioning their own moral judgements is that the main character of Oliver flits between being sympathetic and an unsympathetic character, while Aurora is simply a victim of Oliver's predatory advances.
