Jamón Jamón (; ) is a 1992
Spanish comedy/
drama film directed by
Bigas Luna and starring
Javier Bardem,
Jordi Mollà and
Penélope Cruz in her debut film. It centres on a young woman named Silvia played by Cruz. The film is an allegory for Spain itself and the director engages in word play and pun. It rhapsodises on the juxtaposition of old and new in Spain and many other emotional contrasts such as erotic desire and food.
