i have become a big fan of the work of barbet schroeder and so maybe i be already a little bias by now and but i think this movie be great and although there may be a few length . it be a romantic unromantic view of the great liberation in the late sixty and stylistically amazingly polish ( great set design . ) and in my opinion still very watchable . basically this be an ironic re telling of the story of adam and eve who be drive from paradise after have taste the forbidden fruit which have turn from an apple into a hypodermic fill with heroine . the woman seduce a man into use it thus accelerate his doom . i say accelerate a the guy seem to be doom and bind for an intensive life and an early grave right from the great title sequence onwards . there be no place for any hope . although the story be rather sad and i be capture by the beauty both of the beautiful location ibiza and mimsy farmer . i find her character be at once shallow and enigmatic and endear and annoy and interesting and boring . somehow she represent what men see in woman in a basic and unoffensive way . architecture and build artifact in general be put to very good use which seem to be a schroeder trademark of sort . there be even some humor and mainly deliver by stefan and the german main character and his accent . his main nemesis be not a snake but an old german of dubious reputation and provider of the heroine call wolf . although it be a german name and stefan be german and he pronounce it verrry english and in fit of jealousy spit the name out at his girlfriend in regular interval become a boy who cry . at time stefan have to work in order to earn a cellery . at one time the guy go snorkel and afterward awkwardly clamber up a rock with his rubber flipper never have male frontal nudity be funnier in movie history .
