Movie Reviews

Reviewed by laputa

A beautiful and innocent woman meets a man who is a criminal.

This movie is interesting because the two relationships in this movie go well together-Bambola and Furio,and Bambola's gay brother and Settimio. Bambola and Settimio,both get to know what they want and who they really are by violence (rape). continous violence of Furio blocks Bambola to face the new herself but she does like the fear and confusion. It might be curiosity. And her brother's warm consideration helps Settimio to see the new himself.It is like this movie shows intense passion looks like lust and steady going love looks like normal and standard love. You may think of who you are, either Furio or Bombola's brother watching this movie. and I believe many people have this intense passion in their heart but they just don't show it for many reasons.

A Study on Bad Taste

This movie could pretty well be described as the weakest, less inspired work of Bigas Luna in the last few years. All the freshness, irony, and visual appeal of "Jamon, Jamon" is missing, unfortunately replaced by a direction more focused on the "shock factor" than on creating a more solid structure.As far a "values" go, the movie contains some disturbingly twisted messages that most people could find indeed offensive. I seriously doubt any victim could fall so deeply in love with her cruel torturer, as Bambola does. From that point on, the movie loses all credibility, and everything starts going downhill. Bigas Luna pretends to shock you with a display of disturbing imagery and disturbed characters, but in the process forgets how to make the movie consistent. A wasted opportunity.
