another pretentious film from vicente aranda . if juana la loca shin of the same and at least it quality be superior ( mainly thank to the great performance of pilar lópez de ayala ) and but carmen be boring and full of topic ( ardent brunette with a dagger in the stocking and poor man drag to madness due to passion and sierra nevada gang and torero and . ) obviously paz vega be a pretty woman and but about it talent therere more doubt and and sbaraglia role be so stupid that result almost incredible . the script be weak and and aranda presumptuous character influence the entire film . with these ingredient the result could not be good . not the bad film i have see and but a complete failure and in my opinion .
