About
You might like this if you enjoy strange, old-school European exploitation with ornate visuals and a softer, oddball tone than Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom; Not for you if you want fast pacing or intense sleaze.
Pros: striking sets and costumes; unusual atmosphere; more story than expected | Cons: uneven pacing; tame for the premise; weak lead performance
