carmie-3's rating
I can't help it - I love to watch this movie - I love the cheesy soundtrack (salsa rhythms played on an old Casio keyboard). I love the way Marilia Pena delivers her lines. (This is the wonderful woman from Pixote!) If there is anyone out there who actually liked Spike of Bensonhurst - you would also enjoy this - I own both movies - They are both by Paul Morrisey (He made many of the Andy Warhol films) - It's a hard sell, recommending this movie - I imagine it could outrage a lot of people - It is alternately a dark comedy and a bittersweet drama - Hard to find people who appreciate both -
I genuinely enjoyed this picture as an 80's period piece and a well- crafted, character-driven drama. The movie certainly made my husband and I chuckle. We finished the video and immediately went to the IMDB to get more info on the brilliant cast. The young man who played Ricky Burton was unforgettable. Favorite Line "Nice view - you can almost see the class struggle from up here." Oh, and they have Spaghetti and Tuna for tea! - I came back from living in Spain and tried to duplicate that recipe! My friends thought I was crazy to think of such a thing - I will certainly recommend this film to all of those non-believers!
