Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Awesome Movie
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
So we have some hippies, we have an uptight couple. Hippies are nude, carefree, American. Couple is rich; he's got a stick up you know where; she wants anyone else's stick up the you know where. Miscommunication ensues resulting in tragedy. This is not Larraz's best film, nor his worst-- it just kind of exists. Some nudity, sex is limited to a few scenes at the end. Actors are serviceable; Angel Alcazar, I believe is the main hippie guy, brings an intense sex appeal that reminded me of Joe Dallesandro with a little bit more range. Film also has none of the atmosphere of Larraz's earlier work, or even Los Ritos... For Larraz completists only.
