1967 - Spain Director Starring |
Dedicated to Bunuel and reminiscent of Bunuel: a great slightly off-kilter (in constrast to fully surrealist) depiction of a fetishist’s mind, not the equal of its inspirations in terms of visual or narrative accomplishment, but right up there with them in terms of interest. J.L. Lopez Vasquez is chilling as a man with perhaps warped memories, an unnerving interest in women’s apparel and makeup, and an uncontrollable desire to have his best friend’s wife for his own. Mix all that up with his unreadable but evidently willing assistant (Geraldine Chaplin superb in a double role) and one has, indeed, a deliciously devlish cocktail. |
