Excellent!

I watched this again tonight. I'd have to rank this among my favorite Franco films. It may be him at his most perverse, which is saying something! I do think (agreeing with Stephen Thrower) that he pulled his punch a bit making the Dulcinea character the step-mother rather than mother. But still the movie goes places you just won't find often elsewhere, certainly now today. Some of it (the portrayal of the younger sister) is funny in an outrageous way. And Carmen Carrion makes a nice sexy kinky step mother.

The score by Daniel White is very nice, very melancholy.

And this one makes me feel a bit melancholy myself, as it seems to me Franco was perhaps expressing some insecurities with the Antonio Mayans character somewhat representing himself. Franco certainly took a lot of criticism about his movies and directing over the year. So making this character an impotent, cuckolded fraud who isn't even worth a journalist interviewing and then having to be a pathetic voyeur watching the guy have sex with his wife - it all seemed to me like maybe some of the darker thoughts Franco might have had running through his head, thinking about constantly filming his partner Lina Romay pretending and actually having sex with other men. Maybe I'm reading too much into it. But I like this one quite a bit.
