Not Almodovar's best, by any means, 27 March 2000
2/10

I was stunned during the viewing of this film. I have seen many over the top antics done to shock the audience, but never as blatantly as this. Almodovar tries so hard to shock, he forgets to give us sympathetic characters or a cohesive story line. I did not like anyone in this, but what a great set! I give this a 2.
