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

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.

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!
