Full of visual symbols, the
plot is simple and the character relationships are confusing.
Directors teach us to think.
One mother's son,
mother's husband,
mother's lover,
son's lover,
husband's lover;
another mother's daughter,
mother's lover,
daughter's lover;
deliberately created chaos, life is like a net.
Ham, omelette, garlic. Men's panties, breasts, pigs.
Food and sexuality are intertwined, animal and human beings are intertwined, and
Spanish cinema somehow reminds me of passionate Latin American films, of beautiful, passionate, strong, stubborn women.
The fight between two lovers holding ham in hand reminds me of the Monkey King vs. the Bull Demon King.
In short, a satirical tragedy and a thought-provoking movie.
