Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Not Love, Just Frenzy
Not Love, Just Frenzy ( Más que amor, frenesí ) is a spanish movie written and directed by Alfonso Albacete, Miguel Bardem and David Menkes in 1996.

Madrid. A few days in the life of Max, Monica, Yeye and their friends. Drugs, sex, dance and unhappy love stories implying lesbians, drag queens, or gays. With a little crime story of a male prostitute researched by the police for having murdered a client in an hotel room.

The movie could appeal to aficionados or nostalgics of the night life in Madrid.

--Daniel Staebler, Resident Scholar
