Rating: R (due to some sexy moments including brief nudity)Genres: Melodrama, Mystery & Suspense, Action & AdventureDirected By: Arturo RipsteinWritten By: Arturo Ripstein, Hal Craig, Jose Emilio PachecoAccording to BestSimilar.com, if you like Foxtrot you are looking for movies set around World War II, on a tropical island, featuring themes of luxury and jealousy.
