I loved it. I sometimes love strange movies and fully understand that this miy not be everyone's cup of tea. But I enjoyed it immensely.
Best moment - that's easy. The duet singing of the main character and the Abbess. Trully unbelievable piece of work. For that scene alone - rent it!
So did anyone find it confusing, as the critics seem to believe? I found it to be a nice, somewhat humorous parade (panopticon?) of characters, losely bound together.
A movie no one interested in Euroean film history should miss. Yep, it CAN confuse some...

  Hi Victor
  This must be his newest. I haven't seen it....yet, but will as soon as i find it. I have been a loya Almadovar fan for many years, since "Women on the Verge..." and "Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down"...mmmmm.
  Love Victoria Avril too.
  Have you seen any Hal Hartley films? Immensely droll and funny as hell.
  Try "Amateur","Henry Fool" and "Real Men".
  Will let you know when I see "Dark Hideouts"
  Later

    No, actually that one was before those you mentioned - in 83. I found it quite interesting, others - confusing, so I am curious about oter folks' reactions. If you get it, pay attention to the duet singing scene - simply great.
    Did you see Victoria in "High Heels"? She is mature there.

    Yes, I saw the first two, and they didn't do much for me for some reason.

    Thank you and enjoy
