what was it?
29 June 2022
I honestly have no idea what this was supposed to be. I've enjoyed a wide range of movies (though not many recently) -- everything from foreign (Mon Oncle, Troll Hunter, Too Many Crooks, The Tenth Victim) to early black & white American comedies, mysteries, satire, and sci-fi. But this! Fortunately I only rented the DVD and didn't buy it. It seemed to go on and on forever, one outrageous and absurd situation after another, totally unbelievable characters behaving in totally unbelievable ways, for no apparent reason other than to be "shocking." I don't understand why Waters made it, or what it was supposed to be about, or,ultimately, why I even watched it. I guess I kept hoping there would be some point, some reason, some conclusion, but I watched to the bitter end and found... nothing. It left a horrible taste in my mouth. I hated it!
