Summary: A camp melodrama/comedy about Sexilia (a nymphomaniac), Sadec (a gay Islamic terrorist), Riza Niro (the son of the emperor of Tiran), and Queti (the daughter of a dry-cleaner). When Riza Niro discovers that Sadec and his colleagues are after him, he disguises himself as a punk rocker, and falls in love with the stunning Sexilia, his first straight relationship. Meanwhile Queti, Sexilia's "biggest fan", helps Sexilia come to terms with her new life-style. (imdb)

Silly undisciplined film probably doesn't play as well to someone introduced to Almodovar via his 90s and 00s successes. Flashes of his future style are present here but overall the formless narrative, and variable performances, are ultimately frustrating.

I would give this film more points if it weren't for a few scenes of absolute tastelessness (the diarrhea) and boredom (I get it, Almodovar, you're singing). It's ridiculousness is the film's greatest asset; it never lets go in absurdity and its pacing is mostly fantastic. Definitely a great example of emerging film talent.

My favorite Almodóvar movie--the inspired lunacy approaches Preston Sturges. Sure, it's a little tasteless, but I defy anyone not to laugh during the scene where the portera, who has just taken her laxative, keeps being waylaid on her way to the toilet... It's also fun to watch a VERY young Antonio Banderas.
