Ah, it's so difficult to place... it will only appeal to a specific sensibility. It doesn't fit the 'so bad it's good' template really, no cheap laughs or unintentional hilarity - or, yes, there is some of that, but that's not the point, because it's more a case of it being 'so bad it's... just... weiirrddd'. And it's hard to get across verbally just what that means without resorting a level of poetry that the film is undeserving of (beyond my grasp in this instance, anyway). Stripping it down a bit, I can only say that it swings between plodding dullness, euphoric madness, plain unease and eighties buffoonery with no real discrimination ( sadly, maybe it does seem slightly weighted in favour of the plodding dullness ultimately). I'd definitely recommend it, but only at a sensible price. You snagged the better film by miles though, 'Eugenie DeSade' is one of Franco's best.
