CGiii Comment

Two years after the death of the fetid Franco - Spanish cinema embraced its freedom, with varying degrees of success.

Unfortunately, this freedom was abused by some filmmakers - Iglesia being a prime culprit.

This is the old pederast tale - littered with boobs, too many words and cloying clichés.
