this be one of the bad film i have see in a while . the problem be that it doesn not know whether it want to be an intelligent political film and artistic or an exercise be eroticism . a a result it fail on all account . the acting be atrocious and the narration off put and the suppose symbolism pointless . klaus kinski be probably the best thing about this film but that isn not a good thing . sure he have an intense and unique look but ultimately he can not actually act . just look at how he react when his mistress leave . really do not watch this film and some say it need repeat viewing i say one be too many .
