After marvelling at the sparkling vivacity of Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, I was very eager to see more Almodovar. Caught this one recently, and sure wish I hadn't. I felt defiled after watching it. The film makes you feel like you are watching a snuff movie, as featured in the film itself. It took me days to feel clean again.
Billed as a jet black comedy, this is way over any line for me. Any cinematographic merits don't mean anything compared to the degradation you will suffer by watching this. The film itself is hardly worth commenting on - but I felt I should warn any others who may have been likewise impressed by WOVONB and might expect this to be something similar. Watch this at your peril.
