As this is about the dilemma a man faces, male viewers can, I guess, empathize with the young protagonist more. On the one hand, you have a very pure young lady, who is ready to give up everything for the man she adores. On the other hand, there is the seducing, mature and more skilled (at bed) woman. The point where the middle-aged woman seduces happens very quickly, which I think should have been detailed at depth. Towards the end, it is as if you want the young blood to go for the maid, Maribel Verdu as it seems the fair decision. And just when you think the man has made the right decision, she herself ends our anticipation by forcing him to take her life. She would rather die than let her love slip away from her hands like this. The scene where she asks him in tears to use his razor is one of the best parts of the movie. Her acting tops up.
I assume the viewers feel relieved when the final note says "The two were arrested three days later." On a final note, the movie also presents a dilemma for the audience: Do we want to see the young man follow his passion for the landlady or do we want to go to bed knowing that the justice takes place because the young man keeps his integrity and chooses the innocent maid for the rest of his life?
