to tell the truth and i nearly do not bother with this one while to tell the truth it all the same anyway while i give up on perdita durango and haven not bother much with other title by this very singular basque director and but have at last sit through an entire film . use satire to the nth degree and even go to the extreme of include a take off of ` the exorcist and ` el día de la bestía be a mixture of horror and comedy and spoof and and most definitely a cock in the snout at anyone remotely religious . roll along at an intrepid pace and the film be an insight into what a feverish mind and overheated imagination can cook up . i mean and the story be impossible and but that be the magic of cinema . isn not it . anyway and everyone be rather round the bend and off his rocker or stark and star bonkers a we british youngster use to say near half a century ago . whilst unravel amharic scrawl the right reverend father ángel beriartúa discovers that the antichrist will be bear on christmas day in madrid . from there to a blood let search of the most bizarre in which all kind of weird going on be come off and normally at hell bent speed and which be probably where everyone should end up anyway and the film be a debauch into trivial skylark and heavily dose up with all the gruesome product of horror and perversity liberally mixed into a comical cocktail of doubtful parentage . what i can not fathom be how they manage to get maria grazia cucinotta to fall down those stair so spectacularly and without any part of her anatomy plop out of that dress . if you like this kind of nonsensical black humour and i suggest you give ` airbag ( 1997 ) ( qv ) by the also basque director juanma bajo ulloa a try .
