Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Even by his own often eccentric standards, this absurdist comedy finds Botelho (Hard Times, Three Palms) in high spirits, merrily resurrecting the spirit of Buñuel with a series of very loosely linked surreal episodes. Anti-clericalism is rife, but there's also a good deal of fun at the expense of the nouveaux riches, and the old rich too. It's shot in saturated Day-Glo reds and blues, and that's just the wigs. Genuinely bizzare.
