He can barely keep himself in control, and is constantly grabbing his crotch. Somehow, when he is released from the service, he marries the daughter (Maria de Medeiros) of a real moneybags, and he uses some of those resources to build a gigantic skyscraper in the form of a phallus. After a car crash leaves him partially paralyzed and very despondent, his ill-used wife kicks him out and he moves to Miami, where he picks up a woman who (in a reversal of roles) loves 'em and leaves 'em. For some reason, this circumstance cuts our previously almost irrepressibly priapic hero to the heart, and he sobbingly realizes the extent of his losses.
SCREENED/AWARDED AT: Cinema Writers Circle Awards, Spain, Goya Awards, San Sebastian International Film Festival,

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not an especially great film, but its tragic arc is memorable
Bigas Luna's 1993 film HUEVOS DE ORO (a title punning on both the goose that laid the golden eggs and a tough guy's balls of steel) depicts the rise and fall of Benito Gonzalez (Javier Bardem), a young Spanish construction worker who becomes a affluent real estate developer on the Mediterranean coast, but then loses all he built up for himself through his own greed, callousness and ineptitude.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - An Early Javier Bardem Film
HUEVOS DE ORO (Golden Balls) is a 1993 film by writer/director JJ Bigas Luna (best known for his 'Jamon, Jamon' and 'Son de Mar') that suffers from defective promo/packaging. The cover of the DVD (probably released only of late because of Javier Bardem's growing popularity in this country) suggests an edgy comedy: Bardem in a gold suit is seen grasping his crotch! Nothing could be more misrepresenting as this is a drama of lust, greed, power, and ruthlessness. Get past the promo and settle in for ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - golden balls/huevos de oro
i love javier bardem, he is young and full of energy in this movie. if you like benicio del toro, make sure to watch him in a asmall role towards the end of the movie, well worth the wait.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - about this DVDfilm/movie golden balls............
This is actually talking about "died of human" regarding the 'seduction' and sex of high post construction worker's daughter and he later end up been left to by himself....something like this and this film is recommended tothose whom are interested in this genre of DVDfilms/movie.
