5.0 out of 5 stars acid comedy,hillarious,decadent and kitschy fabulous, July 18, 2003

alfredo (puerto rico) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pepi Luci Bom [VHS] (VHS Tape)

just hillarious! takes place in the capital city of spain,madrid in the punk influenced early 80's.sexy,sassy and smarty pants "pepi" is raped by a policeman,so she plans a vengeance with her roomate "bom" the excentric,sadist, bisexual singer of a punk rock band.
they seduce the policeman's shy wife"luci" (secretly a masoquist and bisexual) to be their slave and do whatever they tell her(including leaving her husband)wich causes a complete chaos and changes every character's life.
explores many of the favorite topics of the director: the housewifes, the size of the penis, flashy clothing, the kitsch-style, the friendship between women, the drugs, the violence and sexual taboos.
acidly hillarious and totally fabulous

5.0 out of 5 stars Mock advertisement and crazy women, March 18, 2002

This review is from: Pepi Luci Bom [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Wonderful performances are a characteristic of Pedro Almodovars films
Set in Madrid, as usual, Pepi is a young and "inocent" girl who gets raped by a policeman. As payback, she seduces his wife and leads her into a life of watersports and sadomasochism.
Early work. Raw and hilarious.

1.0 out of 5 stars Almodovar's very worst., October 29, 2009

This review is from: Pepi, Luci, Bom ( Pepi, Luci, Bom y otras chicas del montón ) ( Pepi, Luci, Bom and Other Girls on the Heap ) [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - United Kingdom ] (DVD)

Every great director is allowed one honest to goodness turkey, and this is it for Almodovar. A tasteless, pointless, trashy satire of Iran's royal family (remember Soraya? She's called Seraya in the movie), complete with look alike actors and actresses, goes nowhere and amounts to a great deal of sound and fury signifying nothing. A very young Antonio Banderas provides the only eye candy but not much acting. I got this movie because I wanted to have all of Almodovar--now I wish I hadn't. Beware: you must have an all-region DVD!
