So precious it gave me a headache, 24 November 2003
Author: Pink Frankenstein from Paris, right now

So many positive comments for this film I had to throw some reality in here. Now maybe if you are a woman going through a midlife crisis or someone who gets really hot about movies that have to do with the Tango you will like this movie.

I found the camera's obsessive adoration of the female lead and her impish expression when lip synching opera to be just too precious. I walked out after 45 minutes because I just couldn't take it anymore. I at least find Hitchcock's obsessiveness with a star interesting in its perversity and he had the sense to try to mask it. It is bare and naked here and very embarassing.

I wish that I drank so that I could forget this film. Unfortunately I can't think of any other movie that would be better which maybe a comment on my limited movie going or the lack of films with female characters that are comedies.

Was the above comment useful to you?
