My amusement watching this film was derived from the reaction of the so called "discerning" Brighton audience who laughed at the most obvious as if they were teenagers watching their first shallow American blockbuster heavy on fart and sex references. To say it was pathetic is letting it off lightly. Maybe women make up a big portion of Almodovar's fan club but the way they seemed to let him get away with his frivolous treatment of male rape and drug rape astonished me. There's no doubt that he has produced decent work in the past but, rather like Lucas, he seems to have succumbed to the puerile and obvious.
