i happen upon a rare copy of this early almodovar film with high expectation almodovar be a prolific contemporary director and i enjoy his 1988 film woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown and and i have read one or two very positive review of the film . well and i must have miss completely the humor that the reviewer saw in this film . i just find it incoherent and tasteless and and boring . yes and there be plenty of innuendo and people in drag and and crude sexual situation and and yes and these element may have shock audience in 1982 ( which be almost certainly almodovar intention ) and but much of the shock value have probably erode over the year and leave a limp storyline . beyond that and the whole movie seem very chaotic and none of the character be particularly sympathetic and and for a comedy even a dark one i just do not find this film funny . i suppose it be possible there be a very select audience for a film like this and but i be just not part of that audience and and not sure that i want to be .
