Yes, it's a bad movie. The plot is rather strange if even comprehensible. The acting is a little wooden by everyone but Raul, however, can anyone honestly tell me that the direction was anything but impressive? Really, the scene construction and camera dynamics were brilliant and was not seen in movies again for some time to come. It was shot on video, from the looks of it an old Panasonic like I had when I was a kid. Yeah, they over-used chroma key stuff, but nowadays it's considered art, and this movie was avant-garde.
I didn't really like this movie otherwise, but I'm giving credit where it is due, and this movies direction and general scene dynamics were definitely ahead of it's time and do not deserve to be coupled with the awfulness of the movie itself.
If you are an aspiring director or screenwriter with a vision, take a look at this. If you are only out to watch the greatest movies ever made, don't bother.
