Just curious if anyone has seen it, the movie looks completely gonzo, gotta say I'll probably have to watch it.

Fantastic movie. I really loved it.
Completely insane and hugely entertaining from minute one.

It has a story that constantly develops. It has that oddessey format, where it just movies from one situation to the next. The situation that the characters face changes every 10 minutes. Very nicely shot. Very unique movie. Violent, demented, psychotic. All in good fun, though.
Downside for me was that there wasn't a single character to latch onto. I wanted them all to kill themselves.
I don't know enough about Spain's history (after WWII) to have enjoyed the historical mashup.
[spoilers]I liked the epiphany at the end, that the woman was the real villain and source of the problems. Just like in real life.[/spoilers]

I watched this for review last year. Yep, it's totally psychotic in many ways, but it is also gorgeously shot, and Carolina Bang is a total goddess.
