This movie is from Spain, & is joining a long list of top flight film from Spain. It was nominated for & won many awards, very deservedly so.
This is a comedy farce set in 1913 Barcelona, concerning the various infidelities of 2 families. There is all sorts of sexual hi-jinks (straight,gay & we find out some incest) is or may be involved.
Did I mention that Sigmund Freud is one of the characters.
For a while I thought that the Ghost of Luis Bunel may have had a hand in the crazy goings on. I am sure the writers had his writings in mind.
The acting by all concerned is first rate,
There is some nudity, but no explicit over done sex scenes.
I do not know how accurate the setting or costumes are, they do seem to belong back that far.
I thoroughly enjoyed this & I feel you will as well.
Ratings: ***1/2 (out of 4) 92 points (out of 100) IMDb 9 (out of 10)
